Im running a tomcat in port 80 without httpd I want redirect packages from 80 to 8080 because tomcat is running as tomcat user (cant run as other non root under port 1025) and I tried the IPTABLES redirection aproach but doesnt work
I performed the same setup to have tomcat running on 8080 but users connecting on port 80. The following should work: # Forward request from port 80 to tomcat listening on port 8080 # REDIRECT is a specialized case of Destination NAT: it is exactly equivalent to doing DNAT to the address of the incoming interface. # as with DNAT, it can be used only in PREROUTING and OUTPUT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 # PREROUTING happens before INPUT, therefore the INPUT rule needs to allow the translated packet, not the original one. iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT Regards, Gaël
