Detailed installation and configuration of Tomcat for Linux

1. To the official website http://jakarta.apache.org/Tomcat Download the apache-tomcat-7.0.2.tar.gz installation file, the JDK assumes that the installation is complete, then install directly Tomcat.
2. Installation
# TAR-ZXVF apache-tomcat-7.0.2.tar.gz
# LS//will be found in the current directory, more than one folder
apache-tomcat-7.0.2 apache-tomcat-7.0.2.tar.gz
# mv apache-tomcat-7.0.2/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2
# mv apache-tomcat-7.0.2/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2
3. Setting Environment variables
# VI ~/.BASHRC

if [-F/ETC/BASHRC]; Then
. /etc/bashrc
Fi
Add the following two items and then save the exit: Wq Enter
Export catalina_base=/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2
Export catalina_home=/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2

4. Verify that the installation is successful
# echo $CATALINA _home
/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2
# echo $CATALINA _base
/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2

If the above content is displayed, OK, it is already in effect. If it is not displayed, reboot the system and try again.

4. Start the service
Let's take a look at the ports that Linux opens:
# netstat–l

# Cd/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2/bin
# ls
Bootstrap.jar setclasspath.sh
Catalina.50.bat Shutdown.bat
catalina.50.sh shutdown.sh
Catalina.bat shutdown-using-launcher.bat
catalina.sh shutdown-using-launcher.sh
Catalina.xml startup.bat
Commons-daemon.jar startup.sh
Commons-launcher.jar Startup-using-launcher.bat
Commons-logging-api.jar startup-using-launcher.sh
cpappend.bat  tomcat5.exe
Digest.bat tomcat5w.exe
digest.sh Tool-wrapper.bat
Jmx.jar tool-wrapper.sh
jsvc.tar.gz tool-wrapper-using-launcher.bat
Launcherbootstrap.class tool-wrapper-using-launcher.sh
launcher.properties version.bat
Service.bat version.sh
Setclasspath.bat
//We need to note this file: startup.sh

#./startup.sh
Using catalina_base:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28
Using catalina_home:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28
Using catalina_tmpdir:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/temp
Using Java_home:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04
We're just going to have a look at the ports that Linux now opens:
# netstat–l

is not more than a 8080 port it! This is the default port for Tomcat/
Okay, let's start our installation test.

http://localhost:8080
Did you see the Tomcat Web page?

If you haven't seen it yet, turn off the fire wall.
# Service Iptables Stop
Purge firewall rules: [OK]
Set chains to ACCEPT policy: filter [OK]
Uninstalling Iiptables module: [OK],

All right. It's definitely no problem this time.

5.Tomcat boot auto-load
# vi/etc/rc.d/rc.local
Displays the following content

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is executed *after* all and the other init scripts.
# can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don ' t
# want to does the full Sys V style init stuff.

Touch/var/lock/subsys/local

Add the following sentence
/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2/bin/startup.sh

This will automatically start Tomcat after the system restarts (be sure that the JDK is installed and usable, otherwise it won't work well)

6. Close the service
# cd/usr/local/Tomcat-7.0.2/bin
#./shutdown.sh
Using catalina_base:/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2
Using catalina_home:/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2
Using catalina_tmpdir:/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2/temp
Using jre_home:/usr
Using CLASSPATH:/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2/bin/ Tomcat-juli.jar

7. Testing of independent environments

(1) test the health of Java, such as the following command:
Java-version
Javac-version
Seeing the version number indicates that the JDK installation was successful

(2) test Apache's health, such as the following command:
/ETC/RC.D/INIT.D/HTTPD Restart # # restart Apache Server
Use any browser, enter the server address and return, you should see the default home page of Apache

(3) test the health of jakarta-Tomcat, as in the following command:
Enter the bin directory below the Tomcat installation directory
./startup.sh # # Start jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24 Service
Use any browser, enter the server address and port number 8080 and return, you should seethe default home page of jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24
Example: http://localhost:8080
./shutdown.sh # # Close jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24 service

8. After installing Tomcat under Linux , what is the user name and password when it is opened?

In the/usr/local/tomcat-7.0.2/conf/tomcat-users.xml file. To edit this file, you can modify the user name and password, for example:

<role name= "Manager-gui"/>
<user name= "root" password= "admin" roles= "Manager-gui"/>?
<role rolename= "Admin-gui"/>
<user username= "admin" password= "admin" roles= "Admin-gui"/>

User root is managed by: status and Tomcat Manager.
User admin is managed by: Host Manager.
Restart Tomcat after saving .
