Guys, I'm having a problem trying to run both apache and tomcat at  

the same port.

I'm able to run both of them when using different ports, but at the  

same port apache simply won't run at all.

You cannot run more than one server on the same IP Address + Port  

combination. The Linux operating system (or any other operating  

system) simply won't let you do that. Possible solutions:

1) Make Apache and Tomcat bind to different IP addresses. Then you
   can run them on the same port.

2) Run apache on the port, have it proxy requests to Tomcat using  

mod_proxy,

   mod_proxy_ajp or mod_jk. That way you present a unified site to  

your users,

   and have Apache decide how each request is served. It is very  

good at that.

Sander
