Tomcat and port 80 - access denied

Hi,

I'd like Tomcat 4 to be listening on port 80 and serve pages.
Currently it's listening on port 8080. I have changed server.xml file
where I set port = 80 in the <Connector name =
org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector port = 80 > ( a non
ssl connector). When I try to start Tomcat I get a message access
denied. My httpd is disabled, since we are using Tomcat as web
server.
In Firewall configuration I added a line with Accept action for port
80. It created an /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file.
Still, I get the same message and can't start Tomcat.
How can I get Tomcat listening on port 80?
When I ran netstat -tupan I see no entry for port 80. What am I doing
wrong?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you may already have something listening on port 80, apache
perchance ?

Also, you will only be able to start tomcat on port 80 if you are logged
in as root, are you trying to bind it to port 80 as a normal user eg
tomcat ?

Yes, I'm running as root and I don't have apache runing...
Any ideas?
Thanks

telnet to port 80 and see what sort of banner it gives you back;

telnet 127.0.0.1 80

Well, I followed your advice and did that. I got a telnet window
saying connecting to myIpaddress:80 and then it disappeared. It
didn't give me any banners. Nothing is listening on port 80. It
looks like Tomcat is being denied access to port 80 for some reason.
Can you think of any other way to get this to work?
Thanks for your help.
