Hi Chuck,
Thanks for the response.  Tried the port assignement bit a while back to
80 and 443.  Got snarled up with them not playing just with the edits in
server.xml. In OSX, IIRC, there were the usual issues because the ports
less than 1024 are reserved for priviledged services, didn't want to run
tomcat as root and it just got complicated.
It seemed simpler to let the default Apache config do it's thing and hand
off tomcat traffic via the connector.
