Hi Abhinav You should have received a warning from the tomcat6-create-instance command when using ports below 1024 (see output below):
ubuntu@ip-172-19-1-2:~$ tomcat6-instance-create -p 1000 -c 8005 tomcat You are about to create a Tomcat instance in directory 'tomcat' Warning: ports below 1024 are reserved to the super-user. Type <ENTER> to continue, <CTRL-C> to abort. It is possible for non-root users to bind to ports below 1024 using the authbind package (see man authbind for more details) - the main tomcat6 package has authbind as a dependency and can be configured to run on ports below 1024 if required. I expect a similar approach could be applied to user instances of tomcat6 if required (but not recommended!) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730259 Title: tomcat6-instance-create does not behave properly on setting a value less than 1024 for the control port -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
