It’s workable solution. Let the port 8080 by default in server.xml

Run : sudo /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

This redirect traffic from port 80 to 8080 (default in tomcat) in Ubuntu 14.04 it is not possible to set the default port to 80 in server.xml.

To make this persistent: sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent

This package allows you to save iptables rules previously entered. Be sure to answered yes (save the current settings)

1.First install tomcat 8 from source (Assumed to be installed in /opt/tomcat) 2. Install authbind Wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/aaronsilber/public/authbind-2.1.1-0.1.x86_64.rpm

3. Make port 80 available to authbind (you need to be root): touch /etc/authbind/byport/80 chmod 500 /etc/authbind/byport/80 chown tomcat7 /etc/authbind/byport/80

4 Make IPv4 the default (authbind does not currently support IPv6). To do so, create the file TOMCAT/bin/setenv.sh with the following content: (here in /opt/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh) CATALINA_OPTS=“-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true”

5. Change /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/startup.sh exec authbind --deep “$PRGDIR”/“$EXECUTABLE” start “$@”

OLD: exec “$PRGDIR”/“$EXECUTABLE” start "$@

[[If you already got a setenv.sh file in /usr/share/tomcat7/bin with CATALINA_OPTS, you have to use : export CATALINA_OPTS=“$CATALINA_OPTS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true”]]

6.Now make changes in /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml file to change port(for 443 we have to crete keystroke file.follow the document for it)

7.Now restart service #service tomcat restart

To enable ssl: 1.create keystroke

keytool -genkey -alias svr1.tecadmin.net -keyalg RSA -keystore /etc/pki/keystore

Sample o/p Enter keystore password: Re-enter new password: What is your first and last name? [Unknown]: Arun What is the name of your organizational unit? [Unknown]: Web What is the name of your organization? [Unknown]: Technology What is the name of your City or Locality? [Unknown]: Delhi What is the name of your State or Province? [Unknown]: Delhi What is the two-letter country code for this unit? [Unknown]: IN Is CN=arun, OU=Web, O=Technology, L=Delhi, ST=Delhi, C=IN correct? [no]: yes

Enter key password for (RETURN if same as keystore password): Re-enter new password:

2. Get CA Signed SSL [ Ignore SelfSigned Users ]

Create CSR:

keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -alias svr1.tecadmin.net -file svr1.csr -keystore /etc/pki/keystore

Install the root certificate:

keytool -import -alias root -keystore /etc/pki/keystore -trustcacerts -file root.crt

Install the issued certificate:

keytool -import -alias svr1.tecadmin.net -keystore /etc/pki/keystore -trustcacerts -file svr1.tecadmin.net.crt

3. Configure Tomcat with Keystore #vi /opt/tpmcat/ conf/server.xml

<Connector port=“8443” protocol=“HTTP/1.1” connectionTimeout=“20000” redirectPort=“8443” SSLEnabled=“true” scheme=“https” secure=“true” sslProtocol=“TLS” keystoreFile=“/etc/pki/keystore” keystorePass=“password” /> 4.restart tomcat service #service tomcat restart

hi, Without interfering iptables iam able to perform this task in ubuntu.But in centos/Redhat iam not able to find a solution without using iptables.Any help plz…

Thanks for the valuable post

I performed the following operations , still I am port 80 is not listened to . Any help , much appreciated.

Steps I : Changed the server.xml <Connector port=“80” protocol=“HTTP/1.1” connectionTimeout=“20000” redirectPort=“8443” />

Step 2 : Make port 80 available to authbind : touch /etc/authbind/byport/80 chmod 500 /etc/authbind/byport/80

Step 3 : create the file TOMCAT_HOME/bin/setenv.sh with the following content: CATALINA_OPTS=”-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true”

Step 4: Change startup.sh: exec authbind –deep “$PRGDIR”/”$EXECUTABLE” start “$@”

OLD: exec “$PRGDIR”/”$EXECUTABLE” start “$@”

Thanks.

I am unable to find Catalina.out file . I see only files like catalina.2015-08-28.log etc. Tried commands like find , this file does not exist.

When i hit the URL , the webpage error is that , it is " Unable to Connect " .

What is the process though ? Do i only need to change server.xml file which i have mentioned above ?

Thanks for the support.

First thing you should do when debugging, is check your logs? What does it say? You get any error? You say: It did not work. What does not work,there are different ways something can’t work…
