Hi,
To access the tomcat home page or any web application, I am currently using http://<ipaddress>:8080 or http://<ipaddress>:8080/<project context>.
I would like to know if there is a way to replace the "<ipaddress>:8080" with a more proper host name such as "abc.myname.xyz". I was told I could use the Apache server along with Tomcat to achieve this. But I am not sure how to implement it. If you could please help me in figuring this out, it would be awesome!! Thank you.
Regards,
Amar

First of all, have you registered the domain "abc.myname.xyz"? And is it configured via DNS to direct requests to your Apache server?

The use of Apache is not necessary.
As Paul pointed out, this has little to do with your server configuration, and more a matter of external setup.
Visiting a registrar such as GoDaddy is the first step...

Hi Paul, I am sorry I had the wrong information regarding Apache. For my requirements I don't actually need to use Apache at all. I just wanted a more intuitive name in order to access tomcat, for that purpose I would need to create a new host name in the DNS and change 8080 to 80 and I am done. However thanks for replying to my post.
Regards,
Amar

Okay. So, to repeat, have you registered your domain name with the registrar for the "xyz" top-level domain?
