and then locate the entries in the file as below.
<!-- A HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
<!-- The compression parameters are taken from the default Tomcat server.xml-->
<!--Connector port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
compression="off"
compressionMinSize="2048"
setBodyEncodingForURI="true"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"

8080 to 80 and 8443 to 443 and save the file.
