WTH: Tomcat expert

Hey guys I need help changing Tomcat default port 8080 to 80. If you think you can help, PM me. Thanks

 

1. Open the folder tomcat\conf on your computer

2. Now with a text editor you have to open and modify server.xml. Here you have to identify the following line (line 184) and you modify it so that changes from:
<Http10Connector port="8080"
secure="false"
maxThreads="100"
maxSpareThreads="50"
minSpareThreads="10" />

to:

<Http10Connector port="80"
secure="false"
maxThreads="100"
maxSpareThreads="50"
minSpareThreads="10" />

3. Startup the web server and access it now using:

http://localhost/

 

I'm using VPS. The problem is i can't located server.xml file

 

Well just try using the find command

find -name server.xml

 

Doesn't work

root@kohproxy [~]# find -name server.xml
root@kohproxy [~]#

 

Which OS are you on ??

 

Centos 5.3

 

Try if the file is here /usr/tomcat/server.xml

 

Nope. Not there either. I rebuilt my apache with easyapache and added tomcat before recompiling, that's all

 

Well try this path

/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/server.xml

 

It's there. Now I'll have to restart tomcat. What command should i use? /etc/init.d/tomcat restart didn't work

 

or u can use this

/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/shutdown.sh

/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/startup.sh ( if these shell script exists in that folder )

 

I couldn't find the above, hence I changed

<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

to

<Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

I rebooted my VPS, now it's not working at all. Will have to chnage back to 8080 :/

 

If someone can do it on my behalf. PM me your msn. Thx

 

Well is there anything else running on port 80 already if yea it wont work for sure..

 

probably apache is running already with that port as he is using apache

 

Yea i doubt any other program uses port 80 by default so first close apache or uninstall it and then try

 

Stop the apache service using below command

#/etc/init.d/httpd stop

Then search is there any apache process are running

#ps -ax | grep httpd

None means leave it otherwise kill the httpd process

#killall -9 httpd

Then change the port number in the file server.xml

For finding the file

#locate server.xml

 

Hmmm if i close apache will my normal site runs :/

I've got other site using the same server too

 

lol if u want to run tomcat on port 80 there is no other option u have to close apache
