http://apache.mirrors.ionfish.org/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.15/bin/apache-tomcat-8.5.15.zip - link is broken

you can find tomcat available versions in:
http://apache.mirrors.ionfish.org/tomcat/tomcat-8/
today the last version is 8.5.20 so you can use this link to install tomcat:
http://apache.mirrors.ionfish.org/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.20/bin/apache-tomcat-8.5.20.zip

the script works perfectly!

hello,
I use google cloud VPS and I don't setup anything yet. I follow your tutorial step by step, but still can't access http://my_IP:8080
Pls tell me do I need install apache2 or any thing else?
Thanks
