Troubleshooting with apache Tomcat 7 steps should be followed ....

after downloading apache-Tomcat 7 // open terminal go to that downloading file folder in which tar.gz file is still.

Untar the tar file

  • tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz

    move a extracted directory of apache-Tomcat7 in current path

  • sudo mv Directory_Name(Extracted eg.apache-Tomcat 7.0.32) /usr/local/Tomcat7

to set environment variable for Tomcat7

  • sudo nano /usr/local/Tomcat7/bin/setenv.sh

then Nano editor will open ..

 JAVA_HOME =/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
 export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

after hit ctrl+X to save file

  • to set the role and username and password.

sudo nano /usr/local/Tomcat7/conf/./tomcat-users.xml

<role rolename="manager-gui" />
<role rolename="manager-script" />
<role rolename="manager-jmx" />
<role rolename="manager-status" />
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status"/>

Ctrl+X to save file

  • If Port no confliction comes in a way then open file to change the port no.

sudo nano /usr/local/Tomcat7/conf/./server.xml

then change the connector port as you want....

  • Its certainly confusing for newbies. I just used the tar.gz from apache and it works as expected. Mar 19, 2012 at 15:38

Tomcat generally doesn't need to be "installed" . Just unzip it and go. Most of the time there is no need for any configuration to get it going out-of-the-box. Of course, once you start adding .war apps and other things, then configuration is needed, mostly in the server.xml file.

Why is the installation description different from the above way of installation and the way it is described in the Tomcat Setup page(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html) at the tomcat site under the title Unix daemon.
