• Installing Tomcat7

Downloading and unarchiving the archive 1 2 3

$ cd /tmp $ wget http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/apache/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.37/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.37.tar.gz $ tar xvzf ./apache-tomcat-7.0.37.tar.gz Moving the distribution into /usr/share/tomcat7 1 2

$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/tomcat7 $ sudo mv /tmp/apache-tomcat-7.0.37 /usr/share/tomcat7

To make it easy to replace this release with future releases, we are going to create a symbolic link that we are going to use when referring to Tomcat (after removing the old link, you might have from installing a previous version): Linking tomcat to tomcat7.x.x 1 2

$ sudo rm -f /usr/share/tomcat $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/tomcat7/apache-tomcat-7.0.37 /usr/share/tomcat

Since we created a tomcat user, he should also own all these files in Changing ownership and make scripts executable 1 2

$ sudo chown -R tomcat:tomcat /usr/share/tomcat7 $ sudo chmod +x /usr/share/tomcat/bin/*.sh

If Tomcat’s default HTTP port (8080) is already in use, you need to edit the server.xml configuration file, e.g. edit /usr/share/tomcat/conf/server.xml and replace 8080 with 8000
