The only user with permission to bind to port 80 is "root". So either define the user as "root" or manually start Tomcat using the startup scripts while logged in as root. My guess is that you have an RPM install, which means that manually starting the scripts will probably cause you more grief, being new, than it will help.

Ok, thanks. I'm starting Tomcat with a script (now I know that, didn't before). It has a configuration file which defines the startup user as 'tomcat3' (I'm still using Tomcat 3.3.1). Should I change the TOMCAT_USER config variable to root?
Or is there a Better Way? P'haps some permission I could give to tomcat3?
Thanks!

How are you starting Tomcat? Are you starting Tomcat as root, or using a script? If you are using a script, does the script start Tomcat as another user, such as "tomcat4"?

I don't think that Apache is running, status of httpd is stopped. Is there another way to ensure this?
The tomcat failure message is quite specific about permission:
Exception: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: org.apache.tomcat.core.TomcatExcept
ion: Root cause - Permission denied:80

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).

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 isfine.
Thanks!
