The document discusses setting up and configuring an Apache Tomcat server. It includes steps to install Java, download and extract the Tomcat source package, set environment paths, start and stop the Tomcat server, and test functionality using HTML, JSP and Servlet files. The server runs on port 8080 by default and can host Java web applications built with Servlets and JSP.

• Set up development environment
• Test your setup
• Establish a deployment method

4. • Apache Tomcat is used to serve Java Servlets and
Java Server Pages. It's a complex piece of software
and though the documentation is very
comprehensive, it helps to have a good reference
work to hand.
• It is an open source Java Servlet application server

7. • Step1 : Install all the prequistes
• Redhat :
• #yum install java
• Ubuntu :
• #apt-get install java
• Step2 : Download tomcat source package and uncompress it.
Redhat/Ubuntu
#cd /opt
#wget http://www.trieuvan.com/apache/tomcat/tomcat-
6/v6.0.29/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.29.tar.gz
#tar xvfz apache-tomcat-6.0.29.tar.gz
• Step3 : Setup the paths for Catalina and others.
Setting catalina paths
• Redhat/ubuntu
• CATALINA_HOME=/opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.29
CATALINA_BASE=/opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.29

8. • bin/sartup.sh : will start the tomcat server
• bin/shutdown.sh : will stop the tomcat server
• By default Apache Tomcat will be hosted on
localhost : 8080 port by default. So try to access
the site with web browser
• http://localhost:8080
or
http://localhost:8080
or
http://systemname:8080
