Question
I Do I Get Tomcat7 to Use Some Other Port Besides 8080 ?

http://MyDigitalOceanIPAdress:8080/MyApp was working great to start.
Now I changed /etc/tomcat7/server.xml like below, to use my new port (XXXX). However, when I try from the outside to get to my app using http://MyDigitalOceanIPAdress:XXXX/MyApp , then it just spins indefinitely.
There is something else I need to do. Can someone else tell me? Thanks.
<Connector port="XXXX" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
URIEncoding="UTF-8"
redirectPort="8443" />

The problem is that there was a network outage. The above steps actually do work. I also should have mentioned that you have to restart tomcat7 using sudo service tomcat7 start

It turns out that this was due to the network outage that happened to be going on at the same time I was reconfiguring the port! :(
