I have Amazon's own prepackaged instance with Tomcat7 ( i-a23e4ac2 ). Got a war file uploaded to webapps, in Server.xml connector is set to listen on port 80.

Default security group settings are: 

ALL sg-07787e6e (default)
TCP
Port (Service)  Source  Action
0 - 65535   sg-07787e6e (default)
80 (HTTP)   0.0.0.0/0   
22 (SSH)    70.126.98.72/32 
UDP
Port (Service)  Source  Action
0 - 65535   sg-07787e6e (default)

I have an elastic ip associated with the instance.

... and I can't get any positive results with that.

Here's what logs are showing:

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Should I try a different instance? For some reason I thought using a prepackaged instance would make deployment a lot easier.

Only root is allowed to bind on ports lower than 1024. Either run tomcat as root or let it listen on a port >1024. Then use an iptables firewall rule to map the upper port to port 80.

    I would consider it a bad practice to run Tomcat as root.

  • @CoreyS. Me too. But it is a valid option.

  • ... so what would be a better (proper) option? Port >1024 and ip tables? By the way, I din't have any luck running it on port 8080 either.
