Install Tomcat on Linux

1. Download a tomcat from the http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat;

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # wget http://apache.bestwebcover.com/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.4/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4.tar.gz &

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # wget http://apache.bestwebcover.com/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.4/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4.tar.gz.md5 &

2. Why do I download a. MD5 file? This is the digital fingerprint of the file. When the official website is running, a fingerprint will pop up, namely jakarta-tomcat-5.4.tar.gz. MD5. You can run the "more" command to check whether the fingerprint is an MD5 string. If this file has been modified (add a Trojan !), The digital fingerprint changes, and the installation on the server is insecure. We can use the md5sum command to verify the fingerprint.

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # More jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4.tar.gz.md5

B0ab66c5cc8737adeeffb5fbcb7f8395

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # md5sum jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4.tar.gz

B0ab66c5cc8737adeeffb5fbcb7f8395 jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4.tar.gz

Compare the two MD5 values. If the values are equal, the file package is original. Some File digital fingerprints are in this format:

B0ab66c5cc8737adeeffb5fbcb7f8395 jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4.tar.gz

For example, if the file is named key. MD5, you can use this method to verify the file:

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # md5sum-C key. MD5

Jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4.tar.gz: OK

If one digit in the fingerprint is incorrect, the following error occurs:

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # md5sum-C key. MD5

Jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4.tar.gz: Failed

Md5sum: Warning: 1 of 1 computed checksum did not match

3. Extract

[Root @ linuxserver root] # cd/usr/local/

[Root @ linuxserver local] # gun zip </root/GZ/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4.tar.gz | tar xf-

I have a binary package, so I don't need to compile it. Next I will set two environment variables catalina_home and catalina_base. Edit ~ /. Bashrc file.

[Root @ linuxserver local] # vi ~ /. Bashrc

Set catalina_base =/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4

Export catalina_base

Set catalina_home =/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4

Export catalina_home

Exit shell and log on again to verify that the variable has taken effect.

[Root @ linuxserver local] # echo $ catalina_home

/Usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4

[Root @ linuxserver local] # echo $ catalina_base

/Usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4

OK.

 

4. Run the Tomcat console;

[Root @ linuxserver local] # cd jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/bin/

[Root @ linuxserver bin] #./Catalina. Sh run

Using catalina_base:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4

Using catalina_home:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4

Using catalina_tmpdir:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/temp

Using java_home:/usr/Java/j2sdk1.4.2 _ 06

This release of Apache Tomcat was packaged to run on j2se 5.0

Or later. It can be run on earlier JVMs by downloading and

Installing a compatibility package from the Apache Tomcat

Binary Download Page.

[Root @ linuxserver bin] #

What? Cannot run? Oh, there was a compatibility package missing, and we went down again.

5. download and install the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-compat.tar.gz package.

[Root @ linuxserver bin] # Cd ~ /GZ

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # wget http://apache.bestwebcover.com/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.4/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-compat.tar.gz &

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # cd/usr/local/

[Root @ linuxserver local] # gun zip </root/GZ/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-compat.tar.gz | tar xf-

Run it again.

[Root @ linuxserver local] #./jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/bin/Catalina. Sh run

Using catalina_base:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4

Using catalina_home:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4

Using catalina_tmpdir:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/temp

Using java_home:/usr/Java/j2sdk1.4.2 _ 06

Created mbeanserver with ID: 12a54f9: ffef84048d:-8000: linuxserver: 1

OK. Open the browser: http: // 192.168.0.88: 8080! The installation is successful.

Of course, the current Tomcat only installs the most basic package, there are some not installed, you can go down to install a full version together.

[Root @ linuxserver local] # Cd ~ /GZ/

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # wget http://apache.bestwebcover.com/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.4/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-admin.tar.gz &

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # wget http://apache.bestwebcover.com/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.4/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-deployer.tar.gz &

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # wget http://apache.bestwebcover.com/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.4/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-embed.tar.gz &

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # wget http://apache.bestwebcover.com/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.4/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-fulldocs.tar.gz &

[Root @ linuxserver GZ] # cd/usr/local/

[Root @ linuxserver local] # gun zip </root/GZ/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-admin.tar.gz | tar xf-

[Root @ linuxserver local] # gun zip </root/GZ/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-deployer.tar.gz | tar xf-

[Root @ linuxserver local] # gun zip </root/GZ/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-embed.tar.gz | tar xf-

[Root @ linuxserver local] # gun zip </root/GZ/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4-fulldocs.tar.gz | tar xf-

Well, now you are using the full version of Tomcat!

6. Now, Tomcat is installed on Linux.
