Problem with changing connector port80

[Konstantinos Bozis, geändert vor 14 Jahren.]

Hi all,
im trying to run tomcat on port 80 (Windows XP)

i've changed the Connector port to 80 in server.xml file as shown below

<Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

But at start up , tomcat freezes in the following line:

[PluginPackageUtil:1153] Reloading repositories


When i change the port to 8080, everything wokrs fine

can anyone help me?

if i choose another port, 8081 for example, then it works
and i can access the website

for a 'reason'... it doesnt work with port 80

Maybe another software already used that port.

I faced this problem too, and found it caused by SKYPE.
