Indeed, I had neglected to add the configuration 

Config['TomcatPort'] := 80:

in ManualConfig.mpl, on my first pass and so the file DefaultZone.mpl 
written to the top of the WEB-INF/root directory had the port :8080
inserted in the servlet URLs.

I see that this file is first written by AliceServer.mpl. I would have
avoided the problem if I had removed this file before rereading
AutoConf.mpl. We should have a warning that WEB-INF/root/DefaultZone.mpl 
should be removed or at least checked for wrong information before
re-reading AutoConf.mpl after changing ManualConfig.mpl in our 
installation instructions.
