How to access JSP pages without 8080 port

Try check your Server.xml file at: <install Path>/conf

Try find the line:

<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
    <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
               port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
               enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
               acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000"/>
    <!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value
     to -1 -->

and change the port="8080" to port="8000"

I tried already both the above mentioned method.. but its still not working.. any other applicable procedure that i can adopt to avoid port 8080 (default port for Tomcat server )..

thanks

Have you changed the port value from ryancys answer to valu not used by any other service !!!(i.e. 85), and have you restarted your tomcat server after that change?

Good Luck

I tried to changed the value of port like 8000 , suggested by ryancys , but still its not accessing JSP pages directly from tomcat server.. one more thing.. the statement which is described by the ryances was already given in the "server.xml" file , i just comment-out that one and add the statement from ryances, but still there is no response...

Any other solution which could be better one or the combination of all version software that could work out on linux...

thansk for all your replies so far...

thanks
Obaid.

Obaid,
I am confused. Does Tomcat work properly on port 8080 or any other port (regardless of Apache) ?

Sorry, for little delay for yours replies, before i was trying with Mandrake 9 under my VMware workstation 4, but now I have been installed Red Hat 9 and successfully installed Apache2 and Tomcat server 4, both are working fine..

like.. for apache webserver: http://myredhat.net.ca .. it gives me the introduction/home page of apache and
        for tomact server        : http://myredhat.net.ca:8080/ .. it gives me an index.jsp page from web document directory of tomcat server.

before going to make changes in order to access jsp pages without referring port 8080, i would like to take steps with your guidance.. however i know the two important files (1) server.xml and other (2) workers.propeties , needs to modify, but i don't know exactly .. what appropriate changes needs to be apply .. please give me yours breif and easy solution..

earlier response is highly appreciated.

thanks
Obaid.

Obaid,
If Apache and Tomcat are currently working properly, then the only changes necessary to access Tomcat thru port 80 are in the Apache configuration file, unless there is some other Tomcat funcionality that you need altering.

You will have to install mod_proxy on apache (either recompile or AddModule in configuration file), and add the proxy directives I mentioned above.

but, I want to make link between Apache and Tomcat through mod_jk/jk2.so  or mod_webapp. what i will have to do to implement it.. as I already the method from some website. there are three files

server.xml and workers.properties -- > under tomcat directory
httpd.conf --- under apache directory

needs to be changes.. but i couldn't figur out , what most appropriate changes in those file need to be apply for this issue.
If someone use these method..please let me know proper steps..

thanks
Obaid.

Obaid,

Would u please describe the steps .. how can i implement mod_proxy module in my case.. i would appreciate for appropriate steps and links

thanks
Obaid.

in which file, i need to use mod_proxy, what others modification i need  to be done..

e.g., my host name is "myredhat.net.ca" and tomcat server "examples" directory on port 8080 .. I have to use like this

http://myredhat.net.ca/examples

awaiting your reply..

thanks
Obaid.

Obaid,
First, you have to include mod_proxy in the Apache server.
The easiest way is to use the following directive in the httpd.conf file:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so

If your Apache distribution was already compiled with mod_proxy, then skip the previous section.

Assign a virtual directory to the tomcat server. If you will use the server exclusively for tomcat, then add the following lines:

ProxyPass /  http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /  http://localhost:8080/

Otherwise, use something like

ProxyPass /jsp  http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /jsp  http://localhost:8080/
