How Install Tomcat

For stand alone installation:

•  Stop apache if it is running:

#  service   httpd  status

#  service   httpd  stop

#  chkconfig  --list  httpd

#  chkconfig  httpd  off

•  Install JDK

Check java version using:

#  java   -version

#  echo JAVA_HOME    //if none, set JAVA_HOME

#  export   JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6-23   //add it to your profile.

      # yum   list   gcc     //  if it is not installed then,  yum   install   gcc

            #  cd   Softwares

#  wget   http://www.fightrice.com/...../apache-tomcat-7.0.6.tar.gz

#  tar  xzf  apache-tomcat-7.0.6.tar.gz

#  mv apache-tomcat-7.0.6    /opt/tomcat

•  Test it

#  /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

Then hit:  http://localhost:8080

            Add CATALINE_HOME to your profile

#  cd

#  vi  .bash_profile

export   CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat

# export   CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat

# groupadd   tomcat

#  useradd  -g  tomcat  -d  /opt/tomcat   tomcat

#  passwd  tomcat                 

#  chown  -R  tomcat:tomcat   /opt/tomcat

#  cd   /opt/tomcat/bin

#  tar   xzf   common-daemon-native.tar.gz

#  cd   common-daemon-1.0.5-native-src/unix

#  ./configure

#  make

#  cp  jsvc   ../..

#  cd   ../../..

#  cp   /opt/tomcat/bin/common-daemon-1.0.5-native-src/unix/samples/Tomcat7.sh   /etc/init.d/tomcat

• To start tomcat:

      #  /etc/init.d/tomcat start

• To stop tomcat:

      #  /etc/init.d/tomcat stop

• Change Apache Tomcat port 8080 to 80 or another port number

#  vi    /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml

<Connector port="80" … />

# /etc/init.d/tomcat  restart

Done
