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, ...). paul
