It may be worth mentioning that running tomcat as a non root user  which you should be doing  will prevent you from using a port below 1024 on  nix  If you want to use TC as a standalone server -- as its performance no longer requires it to be fronted by Apache or the like -- you ll want to bind to port 80 along with whatever IP address you re specifying    You can do this by using IPTABLES to redirect port 80 to 8080
