The most likely reason it fails is that you already have Apache running on port 80. Only one application on the box can bind to port 80. You have to stop Apache first.
After that, it is pretty much: sudo $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh If you are running 3.3.1 stand-alone, you might want to look into using the CoyoteConnector (which is part of 3.3.2-dev). It perfoms much better than the Http10Connector in most cases. The best way is to grab the nightly for 3.3, and follow the directions at http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-connectors/coyote/release/v1 .0-rc2/ (The rc2 release is known to be broken for 3.3, so don't grab the jars from here). <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > What do I have to do to get Tomcat 3.3.1 to run with port 80? I modified server.xml to alter the port number, and it now fails with lack of permission on port 80. The Redhad doc for Apache says it must be started by root for this to work, but I start it as root and it still fails. > > A command line procedure would be best, and pointer to commands and doc is fine. > > Thanks! > > Regards, > Terry Fuller > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
