Hi.
Another tip : on his list,mit is preferred if you respond in or below the
previous text.
That's why I moved your previous answer.
It makes it easier to follow the conversation without having to scroll back and forth all
the time.

Hello all
I am new to the list. This is what i am trying to do but need help on:
I have a webapp running on tomcat 8:
https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp
I am going to set up a DNS record myapp.example.com which will point to
the
IP address of the tomcat server that hosts the webapp.. I want this new
DNS
record myapp.example.com to redirect to
https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp.
In other words, I want the URL to redirect port 80 to the URL for the
webapp automatically so the users will not have to enter in the port
number
whenever they want to browse to the webapp. I tried doing research on
google and I was not able to find a straight forward way of doing this.
Any
help is greatly appreciated!
The first thing you would have to check, is whether port 80 is still free
on that server, or if there is already another webserver (e.g. Apache
httpd) using it.
The second thing to clarify is whether, apart from "myapp", there are
other web applications (not called "myapp") which you are running or would
want to run under Tomcat on that server.
If not, then you might want to run your application as the *default*
application, so that users would get to it with the URL "
https://myapp.example.com:8443/";, instead of "
https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp";.
To do this first, have a look at :
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo
and look at #17 : How do I make my web application be the tomcat default
application
It will just be easier if you clear up the above points first, because
there are multiple possibilities, and it narrows down the scope of the tips
we can provide.

Hello Andre
thank you for your response.
There are no other webservers running on this machine. There are other web
apps as well, but the only way to access them is through myapp. So should I
deploy myapp as the default app ?
Yes, I think that it will make the rest easier.
So do that, as per the instructions above, and then we will continue.
