changing default port to :80

how can I change the default from 8080 to 80?

With the abilities of my coworkers to use internet related things…adding the port number I believe would slow the process of some of our new projects.

Hi,

You will need to install the stack as root / administrator and then the port 80 will be selected by default, unless we are talking about a Java application, because Tomcat default port is 8080 indeed.

Maybe I am misunderstanding… I install the MAMP app and authenticate as an admin..and it defaults to 8080.

PS. This is Leopard Server with MySQL turned off and Web services turned off.

This happens with PHP apps, so the Tomcat thing shouldnt apply.

I mean installing the stack as the computer administrator. From the Terminal, execute the installer by prefixing the command with sudo, like:

sudo ./bitnami-mampstack-1.0-beta-4-osx-x86-installer.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh

and then you will be prompted to enter your machine admin password.

Cheers

great thanks—i will try this!
