Only if you are mixing technologies or have other complications. For instance, I find Apache Httpd easier to deal with for PHP, Perl, or CGI stuff in general. In a straight java servlet environment, it just adds latency and complexity you probably won't want.

Thanks David.

I appreciate your help.

Also, do I need to have a Apache HTTP server sitting before my Tomcat
instance ? Right now I don't see any reason for doing so.

Subject: Re: Configuring linux for Tomcat web hosting

1. Configure tomcat to listen on port 80 and without root privilege. Not sure how you setup tomcat on your Ubuntu box, but most linux
distributions will require you start it with something like jsvc from
the commons-daemon project to do this.

2. Configure your cable router to forward port 80 connections it
receives from the outside world to your Ubuntu box.

3. Work with your domain name provider to make sure your shiny new
domain name resolves to your static IP.

Life should be good after that.

Hi,
I have created a website running on Tomcat 6.x and have also purchased a domain. The OS I am using is Ubuntu 7.1 (linux). Can anyone help me with configuring the linux so that my host name can direct to tomcat server. Right I have a static IP address and I can direct my domain name to this static IP address. Now my Tomcat is running behind a router with a DHCP configuration. What configuration I need to do configures my linux an d Tomcat. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
