How To: Installing Apache Tomcat 7 in Linux Fedora Core 17

Home

Continuing with the Java tutorials, now is the turn to coverApache Tomcat. It is a well known WebContainerfor Java applications working in Web environment.

This tutorial is only for installation purposes in Linux. I am using the latest release available for eachsoftware while I am writing this tutorial. These are:

Fedora Core release 17.You can get it onGet Fedora.

Oracles Java JDKrelease 7 update 04.

You can get it onJava SE Downloads.

Apache Tomcat release 7.0.27. You can get it on Tomcat 7 Downloads

Remember that I already wrote a tutorial named How To: Installing Oracles Java JDK 6/7 in LinuxFedora Core 17. So once you have installed Java in Fedora Core, proceed to return here.

Step 01: Getting Apache Tomcat 7Just go to Tomcat 7 Downloads. Then go below until the section 7.0.27. Of course this release would

change according if exists a new release available. Below an image to show you where you should be

located.

Figure 01: Apache Tomcat Downloading Page Section 7.0.27

I am going to work with the core installer, therefore within the core sub section do click in the item or

option tar.gz. Once you have done this, you are going to be able to get or download the apache-

tomcat-7.0.27.tar.gz file. Below an image for a better understanding.

Listing 02: Terminal 01 Creating the path directory whiteroom/apache/tomcat

Below the new directory created after of the command execution.

Figure 04: The path directory whiteroom/apache/tomcat empty

Step 03: Copying the installer to our customized installation directory

Proceed to copy (or move if you want it) the Tomcat installer to our path directory

whiteroom/apache/tomcat. You must see the follow.

Figure 05: The path directory whiteroom/apache/tomcat with the Tomcat installer

Step 04: Moving to our customized installation directory

In the terminal 01 execute the commandcd whiteroom/apache/tomcat

[section1@localhost ~]$ cd whiteroom/apache/tomcat[section1@localhost tomcat]$

Listing 03: Terminal 01 Moving to the path directory whiteroom/apache/tomcat

You can know our new location executing again the commandpwd in the terminal 01.

[section1@localhost tomcat]$ pwd/home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat[section1@localhost tomcat]$

Step 05: Unpacking the .tar.gz file

Now is the turn to work around with the .tar.gz file, we only need to unpack it. Therefore again in the

terminal 01 execute the commandtar -zxvf apache-tomcat-7.0.27.tar.gz

[section1@localhost tomcat]$ tar -zxvf apache-tomcat-7.0.27.tar.gz...[section1@localhost tomcat]$

Listing 05: Terminal 01 Unpacking the .tar.gz file

The three dots () represent a long output when you execute the commandindicated.

After of the execution of the commanda new directory named apache-tomcat-7.0.27 must appear, like

shown below.

Figure 06: the new apache-tomcat-7.0.27 directory created after to unpack the apache-tomcat-

7.0.27.tar.gz file

Step 06: Knowing the apache-tomcat-7.0.27 directory (Optional)

Lets see what directories exists within the apache-tomcat-7.0.27 directory

Figure 07: the apache-tomcat-7.0.27 directory content

I am not going to explain each directory right now, in future tutorials, I will do the respectiveexplanation when be appropriate.

The directory of our interest right now is the bin directory.

Step 07: Moving to the apache-tomcat-7.0.27s bin directory

Again in the terminal 01 just execute the commandcd apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin


5/6

[section1@localhost tomcat]$ cd apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin[section1@localhost bin]$

Listing 06: Terminal 01 Moving to the path directory apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin

Is always wise be curious, lets see what files we have within the apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin directory

Figure 08: the apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin directory content

Step 08: Startup the Apache Tomcat Server

Within the apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin directory we have a file of our interest to startup the Tomcat

server. It is the startup.sh file script.

Warning: Bear in mind it is a tutorial only for installation purposes, I am not including mandatory and

important configuration settings about the heap size to avoid problems about the performance with

Apache Tomcat. It will covered in other tutorials.

Therefore, to startup Tomcat just execute the command(really the script) ./startup.sh within the

terminal 01[section1@localhost bin]$[section1@localhost bin]$ ./startup.shUsing CATALINA_BASE: /home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27/tempUsing JRE_HOME: /home/section1/whiteroom/sun/jdk/jdk1.7.0_04Using CLASSPATH: /home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin/tomcat-juli.jar[section1@localhost bin]$

Listing 07: Terminal 01 Startup Apache Tomcat Server through the execution of the startup.sh

file script

To check if the Tomcat has started successfully, proceed to open your favourite Web Browserand write

in the URL addresshttp://localhost:8080. If all is correct you must see the follow image.

Step 09: Shutdown the Apache Tomcat Server

Again, within the apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin directory we have a file of our interest to start the Tomcat

server. It is the shutdown.sh file script.

Therefore, to shutdown Tomcat just execute the command(really the script) ./shutdown.sh within theterminal 01

[section1@localhost bin]$[section1@localhost bin]$ ./shutdown.shUsing CATALINA_BASE: /home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27/tempUsing JRE_HOME: /home/section1/whiteroom/sun/jdk/jdk1.7.0_04Using CLASSPATH: /home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/section1/whiteroom/apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin/tomcat-juli.jar[section1@localhost bin]$

shutdown.sh file script
