There are currently Tomcat 9, compatibility OpenCms has not been tested.

After installation, configure the Catalina_home environment variable, which is the installation path for Tomcat, such as C:\Tomcat 8.0.

The environment variables are tested in the following diagram.

You can also combine Tomcat with the Apache Web server, "because it's important for your site to use Apache to elevate the processing performance of static files in your Web site, such as pictures and other binaries."

The following modifies the MySQL configuration file My.ini. Find the My.ini location first, get the My.ini path by looking at the corresponding properties-> executable path for the MySQL boot entry for the Windows service. For example:

"C:\Program files\mysql\mysql server 5.7\bin\mysqld.exe"--defaults-file= "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL server 5.7\ My.ini "MySQL57 that My.ini path is C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini. Modify the value in which Max_allowed_packet is above 32M.

If the following page does not appear, it may be because the Tomcat environment variable is not configured, the MySQL service process is not started, and so on, you need to first start MySQL, restart Tomcat, and then try to install OpenCms.

Next, go to the Database Settings page. Select the MySQL database, the setup Connection (installation connection) is for OpenCms installation only, OpenCms Connection is used for post installation OpenCms work (you can create a separate user for OpenCms in MySQL if you want).
