              Ubuntu - Install Tomcat.md
            
          
Step 1: Download Tomcat from here: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi


Step 2: Right click and extract the file.


Step 3: Copy (or better Cut) the extracted folder (e.g. apache-tomcat-7.0.53) and paste it to ~/Tools/Tomcat


Step 4: Open Terminal and cd ~/Tools/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/conf


Step 5: nano tomcat-users.xml
Add following at the end of the file before ""


<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<user username="admin" password="tomcat" roles="admin,manager,manager-gui"/>
   
CTRL + O (save)
CTRL + X (exit)

Step 6: cd ~/Tools/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/bin

Change the permissions of catalina.sh so it can be executed, type:

chmod +x catalina.sh

Step 7: To start tomcat type:

sh startup.sh 
And you will see output like this:
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/<username>/Tools/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.53
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /home/<username>/Tools/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.53
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/<username>/Tools/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /home/<username>/Tools/java
Using CLASSPATH:       /home/<username>/Tools/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/aurora/Tools/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Tomcat started.

Step 8: On terminal run "netstat -anp | grep :8080" (This step is to verify that tomcat has started successfully)
And if everything worked as expected then you should see output like this:

tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      12976/java 


Step 9: Open your favorite browser and type "http://localhost:8080"
And you should see home page of tomcat


Step 10: Add aliases to quickly start and stop tomcat
Open terminal and enter "nano ~/.bash_aliases"
enter following data:


### Tomcat 7 Start and Stop
alias tm7st='sh /home/aurora/Tools/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/bin/startup.sh'
alias tm7sp='sh /home/aurora/Tools/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/bin/shutdown.sh'
enter ctrl O and press enter to save changes and then ctrl x to exit nano. And close terminal.

Step 11: Open Terminal and type: tm7st
It will start tomcat
And now type: tm7sd
It will stop tomcat
