How to redirect URL without port number to tomcat webserver

Question

I am using tomcat version 7 and have hosted one resource file in webapp. Right now, I am accessing my resource file by typing the URL http://dcdvdvdsv.com:8080/resourcefilename.

I have mapped my IP in my hosts file.

I want to get rid of the port number inside the URL. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Whenever you enter a URL without a port, it defaults to port 80, the standard http port.

Change your Tomcat's listening port from 8080 to 80, and you'll be done.
