How can I change Tomcat to use port 80 instead of
8180? I tried changing the
connector port in the xml file then restarted but with no avail..
That's a tomcat question.
As far as I know you did the right thing.
Do restart tomcat and don't forget to be root (which is not really correct).
Also is there a benefit from using Nginx to proxy into
Tomcat? If so how
would one do that?
I don't know about Nginx but we generally keep Tomcat on a high port and keep an
Apache httpd on port 80 with a simple proxy. That works very well. Then only Apache needs
root access and the latter takes care of changing the user after the restart (which no
servlet container I know does, it's a native thing).
Proxies can become a lot more tuned if using mod_rewrite (e.g. to guarantee some short
URLs in a very very flexible way, allow https, ...).
