Linux系统非ROOT用户80端口不能启动tomcat问题的变通办法——通过Iptables端口转发

非root用户，修改tomcat启动端口为80，启动时报错：

上面可以看到，非root用户其实没有绑定80端口的权限。在Linux下低于1024的端口是root专用，而Tomcat安装后默认使用用户tomcat启动的，所以将端口改为80后启动，会产生错误：java.net.BindException: Permission denied:80

解决方法是：

第一步，重将Tomcat的端口（server.xml）由80改回8080。

第二步，通过Iptables端口实现80到8080的转发，命令为：

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

用root用户直接去执行就可以了！

这样，用户访问80端口和8080端口其实都到了8080端口。
