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..
Also is there a benefit from using Nginx to proxy into Tomcat? If so how
would one do that?
Thanks :)

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, ...).

Thanks but I don't plan on using Apache the only thing installed on my BSD
VPS is diablo jdk , tomcat and xwiki. I followed the tutorial on how to
install xwiki on FreeBSD on the dev page of xwiki. Now that being said, is
tomcat a httpd server? If not then I'm guessing I have to install nginx and
proxy it to tomcat.
Also since xwiki is java based, I don't have to install pop? Unless I want
to serve php?
Also how well does PostgresSQL fair in large wikis

XWiki or tomcat are independent of PHP.

I think it can score well.
I encountered, however, a few issues while trying to get some applications based on xwiki
in active use. The generated SQL was incompatible with PostgreSQL.
As a rule of the thumb, I think workability with MySQL is considerably more tested.

So based on your experiences, or anyone else's is MySQL "better", persay vs
PostgresSQL?
So since tomcat is a httpd server should I still use Ngninx as a proxy?

Tasteful speaking I always preferred Postgres (more strict open-source, more
sys-admin-oriented) but I know MySQL is more widespread and sometimes faster.

The thing is. When you run a product web-site you generally do not want it to be run as
root or any "power user": it should be run as a user that barely can do
something on the local machine because of the risk to execute things. XWiki is an
environment where any administrator can execute any process very easily.
In a normal unix environment you would create a user httpd and run the web-server with
that user.
Typically, however, the user httpd cannot even login and has no home, the servers are
started as root than change the user.
Is your nginx deployment doing all that?
Apache normal deployments do.

I have now installed Nginx and done a proxy through to tomcat, its.. quite..
slow.. IMO, probably cause its Java?

Eric,
Java has a slow start. Yes that's known.
But once "warmed" it often performs better than many other things.
Maybe it helps.
