Thank you for your reply, André.
Unfortunately, the Tomcat 9 Ubuntu package is only available on Ubuntu 18 and
19 (at least that I could find). I'm on 16 at the moment (though I did think
about upgrading) which is why I'm using the binary distribution from
tomcat.apache.org.
The good news is I was able to get authbind to work. If anyone is interested in
the steps I used, please let me know.
Thanks again,
Ralph

Hi.
Apologies for breaking conventions of this list and top-posting..
It seems that the issue below is more of a question for the Ubuntu list,
than Tomcat's.
The standard /etc/init.d/tomcat9 startup script included in the Ubuntu
tomcat9 package,
should allow starting tomcat 9 on port 80 without any changes to the tomcat
configuration
or scripts (other than setting the Connector to port 80 in server.xml).
If "it doesn't work", you should consult the Ubuntu user's support list,
where you are
more likely to find appropriate answers.

At another level : below, you mention trying authbind (which is what the
standard Ubuntu
startup script does), but "I could not get it to work".
Did you check that the settings of authbind are correct, for port 80 ?

works great, but now I need to run it on port 80 & 443. On our old server we
have a script we use, but it doesn’t work upon startup (due to the needing to
use sudo to get privileges to bind to port 80). For this new build, I was
hoping to streamline the process and have Tomcat start upon boot. I’ve been
doing a lot of Google searching on binding port 80 on Tomcat, but most of what
I found was for older versions. Here’s what I found:

Should I just bite the bullet and use an HTTP proxy?
