Probably written by someone very familiar with httpd and unfamiliar with Tomcat. Using Tomcat standalone on port 80 without root privileges is actually much easier and less overhead, as described here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html#Unix%20daemon > 1 - Ports below 1024 are available only to root user, and I wanted to > run Tomcat under default Tomcat user See above. You can also use iptables to do port forwarding. > Because of that I still need localhost:8080 to serve the same > application. All you need for that is two <Connector> elements, one for port 80, one for 8080. > 4 - I can still use Apache HTTPD to host other applications on that > server, that are PHP based. Now you have a real reason for keeping httpd in the mix. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
