Hello,

Unfortunately, in many scenarios, you cannot simply change the Tomcat port from 8080 to 80 and expect it to work. Many operating systems have other applications that run on port 80 (like Apache web server or Windows IIS).  Port 80 is often a "protected" or reserved port.

So, as noted in the Installation guide, if you want to run DSpace on standard ports (port 80 and/or 443), we recommend running Apache web server *alongside* Tomcat, and setup Apache to forward/redirect all requests to Tomcat.  A guide for doing so is available here:
