Well Andre, you are right, but when I started reading what is the easiest way to make Tomcat available on port 80 (under Centos 5.3) the most common answer was: use Apache HTTPD.
Other solutions looked even more complicated as: 1 - Ports below 1024 are available only to root user, and I wanted to run Tomcat under default Tomcat user 2 - I have removed aliases and exclusions from host configurations and left parts relevant to my question, so not everything will be served by Tomcat. 3 - The applications that I'm using have multiple endpoints defined (more than 10 I believe) in different configuration files, and as far as I know it might be the case that not all of them are configurable. Because of that I still need localhost:8080 to serve the same application. This is going to be solved in some future releases of Alfresco so it is going to be possible to set "main endpoint" as just one configuration value. 4 - I can still use Apache HTTPD to host other applications on that server, that are PHP based. (I know you can make PHP work on Tomcat somehow, but I believe it is recommended or "advised" to run PHP on Apache HTTPD if possible?)

JkMount /* etc.. Why not just turn off Apache, and have Tomcat listen on port 80 ? You would save yourself some complication and some overhead. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
