How to change Port 8080 on Apache Tomcat on Linux Centos 6.5 server to the Default?
Solution 1
I had the same problem. It means I need to change port number from 8080 to 80 so that I can access my url (e.g www.mydomain.com
) without appending 8080. But I found a different way to solve the problem.
Instead of changing port number in server.xml
. I redirected port number 80 to 8080 using the following script. This works perfectly fine for me.
[root@myroot ~]# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
[root@myroot ~]# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -m udp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080

Solution 2
taken from here
in your tomcat install dir, look for server.xml
file.
change
<Connector port="8080" ...
to
<Connector port="80" ....
or any other port (80 is the default without specifying port)
don't forget to restart tomcat to apply changes
sudo service tomcat7 restart

I want to remove switch from port 8080 on my Apache Tomcat on Linux server CentOS 6.5 to the default. On My hosted Apache Tomcat server is running on port 8080 on url vmx15978.hosting24.com.au:8080. After I have installed the Geoserver software on the Apache server the url for it is http://vmx15978.hosting24.com.au:8080/geoserver/web/.
My website domain is links-map.com. Currently I can access Geoserver by this URL: links-map.com:8080/geoserver/web; However, I want to access Geoserver without 8080 using this URL instead: http://links-map.com/geoserver/web/
