How to fix port issue in tomcat

[Anu mol]

Hello,

this is a cpanel server
I am totally in confusion as my managed server provider refused to help me..with tomcat custom configuration.
Am trying to find a solution for :
1) http://myfamilymeet.com/w3search.myfam --> Wont work
2) http://myfamilymeet.com:8080/w3search.myfam --> Will work with port 8080

In this same server I have another domain a24uall.info
http://a24uall.info/w3search.a24/ --> works

The configuration change I made is in

/usr/local/apache/conf/jk.conf

ProxyPass / http://a24uall.info:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://a24uall.info:8080/

But my real problem starts here..
When I give the same configuration settings like above to any other domain in /usr/local/apache/conf/jk.conf it wont work..

Now please see
http://myfamilymeet.com/w3search.myfam --> wont work..
Hop I have explained the problem correctly..Can any one here please help ?

which server you are rubbing it TOMCAT ???

if yes

Assuming you have no other server already running on port 80, you'll find it convenient to configure Tomcat to run on the default HTTP port (80) instead of the out-of-the-box port of 8080. Making this change lets you use URLs of the form http://localhost/blah instead of http://localhost:8080/blah. Note that you need admin privileges to make this change on Unix/Linux. Also note that some versions of Windows automatically start IIS on port 80. So, if you use XP and want to use port 80 for Tomcat, you may need to disable IIS (see the Administrative Tools section of the Control Panel).

To change the port, edit install_dir/conf/server.xml and change the port attribute of the Connector element from 8080 to 80, yielding a result similar to that below.

<Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" ... >

try this...

try this...
if you want to access in just http://localhost instead of http://localhost/blah just copy the extracted contents of your applications war file ( every thing in the blah.war) in to your webapps folder of CATALINA_HOME....
