Tomcat removing of port 8080

[Subhash Pavuskar]

Can any one please tell me In Liinux what is the procedure to remove 8080 port ?
For Ex : By default it will be " http://localhost:8080"
i want it to make "http://localhost " "

There are two options:
1) You need to let Tomcat run on port 80. This means that you cannot have some other (web) server running on port 80. That means no Apache etc.
2) You need to let your existing web server on port 80 forward requests to Tomcat. Look for mod_jk and how it works.

In Linux, you ALSO need to run Tomcat as a root user, since port 80 is a protected port.

Running Tomcat as root is a Bad Idea. So the safer way is to use a proxy such as Apache.

Sorry If I am wrong. I don't really know if this is the issue you are asking about:
