Change the default tomcat port 8080 to 80

[Thiago Gonzaga Belmonte Galvão]

Hi guys, what is the simplest way to change the 8080 port to 80 so user won't need to type 8080 to access the application?

[Nguyễn Tuấn Vũ]

You can change port 8080 to 80 of file server.xml in folder tomcat and change port file config ( dspace.cfg, local.cfg ) of Dspace ! 

i hope it will help you !

Hello,

In the official DSpace installation instructions, we also provide a guide for one way to run DSpace on standard ports (port 80 and 443).  The approach we recommend is running an Apache HTTPD webserver in front of Apache Tomcat.  However, there are other approaches (as others have mentioned).

Here's the section of the installation documentation that I'm referring to: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-UsingSSLonApacheHTTPDinfrontofTomcat(runningonports80and443)

If you have further questions, I'd recommend asking them on our Tech Support mailing list (dspace-tech) or via one of the other support options listed at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Support

Tim

Hi Guys,

I tried this changes

On server.xml

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443"
      URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

to

<Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443"
      URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

On dspace.cfg

dspace.baseUrl = http://repositorio.gv.ifmg.edu.br:8080

solr.server = http://localhost:8080/solr

dspace.baseUrl = http://repositorio.gv.ifmg.edu.br

solr.server = http://localhost/solr

Stop and Start Tomcat.

After this no access to my site

I will try the official DSpace installation instructions.

If you are trying this on a Unix-like OS (such as Linux), Tomcat will
not be able to open port 80 unless it is running in a privileged
account. Tomcat is not designed to run as a privileged user, and
should not, for example, routinely run as 'root'.

However, it *is* designed to be *started* privileged and then drop
privileges, as a good daemon should. This requires starting it with
the use of 'jsvc', which handles startup as most daemons do: call the
code (in Tomcat) to initialize the service (which includes opening the
ports), change user to the nonprivileged account, and call the main
body of the service. I've never understood why this is not used by
all Linux distributions. I tried modifying the Gentoo startup script
for Tomcat to do this, but it was too much trouble to maintain across
Tomcat updates and I gave it up. Look for Apache Commons Daemon if
you want to know more about 'jsvc'.

There are distribution-specific hacks that accomplish the same thing.
If you'll tell us what OS you are using, someone may be able to
suggest one.

Another method is to proxy through a general-purpose web server such
as Apache HTTPD or Nginx, which knows how to daemonize properly.
Tomcat then runs as a nonprivileged user on a nonprivileged port.
This works well here, and is what I currently recommend.
