How do you relay HTTP Port 80 Connections to Tomcat Port 8080?

Question

I am working with a CentOS VPS and would like to achieve this without running tomcat as root.

Answer 1

you have two options:

• Put an apache or other webserver in front of the tomcat server and pass the requests to the tomcat. This post shows how.
• Using iptables redirects.
