When the http port is not specifier, it is assumed to be port 80. So your web container must listen on port 80. But on a Unix-like OS, only root can listen to a port number lower that 1024.

Anyway; to change the port number, you need to edit tomcat's server.xml file and change the port number of the http <Connector>
