Installing Tomcat under Win7

Install a tomcat are twists, online data installation method is uneven, see more but dizzy, record their own installation process, easy to read later.

Which version do you choose?

Tomcat 8 requires JDK7 above, and to install 8 you need to first confirm your own JDK version (java-version). The native environment is 1.6, so choose Tomcat 7

1, enter the official website: http://tomcat.apache.org/

2, choose Binary Distributions version download.

The download process also occurred some episodes, my computer is 64-bit, so the first choice to download the 64-bit Windows zip. However, when the configuration installation is complete, the following exception is thrown when running Startup.bat:

Tomcat Can ' t load AMD 64-bit. dll on a IA 32

　　

Indicates that the JRE environment is 32-bit. Puzzled, but I was obviously 64-bit, and later used java-version to view the JDK version.

D:\env\apache-tomcat-7.0.55\bin>java-versionjava version "1.6.0_16" Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16 -B01) Java HotSpot (TM) Client VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

Find yourself downloading the Java version of mixed mode. The default is to assume that the JRE environment is 32bit. The TOMCAT7 download configuration for 32-bit Windows zip is then re-selected, which can be accessed normally after startup.

Download complete, tomcat configured in the environment

Configure the Environment:

1, download a good zip to extract to a directory, eg:d:\env\apache-tomcat-7.0.55\

2, Computer-"Properties-" Advanced system Settings-"advanced-" Environment variables

In the System Variables column, create the following three variables:

In the path variable, add the%catalina_home%\bin

(Path is created when you configure the Java environment)

3, determine the save, configure the environment to complete

To configure the Startup method:

1. Open cmd

2, enter the CD%catalina_home%\bin;

3. Execute command: Service.bat install

4. Bat flashes past, don ' t care

5. Enter%catalina_home%\bin in the Explorer and click Tomcat7w.exe

Such as:

Click Start and the service starts. Service Status:start after startup.

When off, click Stop.

If you choose Startup Type:automatic. Indicates the default startup when booting.
