run Jira on port 80

[Hailes Admin]

I want my jira application to run on port 80 instead of 8080, I have tried to replace server.xml connector port to 80 and restarted jira after that it won't load so I reverted back, can anyone explain a working method to reconfigure it on port 80.

That is the only thing you need to do.

But keep in mind that you won't be able run the service on port 80 as a non-root user in linux. Is that the issue here? If so, run it as a root user (not recommended) or use redirection to port 8080 from port 80 either using simple iptables routing or by setting up a web server like Apache in the front.

There might also be firewall rules blocking port 80. Check that as well!
