Hi Simon,

I don't know if this will work in Unix, but in Windows, you 
can change what port that Tomcat listens on in the 
server.xml file.  You have to change the parameter tag of the 
connector.  Eg change:

        <Connector 
className="org.apache.tomcat.service.SimpleTcpConnector
">
            <Parameter name="handler" 
value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandle
r"/>
            <Parameter name="port" value="8080"/>
        </Connector>

to:

        <Connector 
className="org.apache.tomcat.service.SimpleTcpConnector
">
            <Parameter name="handler" 
value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandle
r"/>
            <Parameter name="port" value="80"/>
        </Connector>

(Just changing the Parameter name="port" value).

Like I said, I don't know if this will work in Unix, but I hope 
that it helps.

Raj.
