When you install tomcat7, you have nothing to type to start it. It starts up automatically. Notice in install log:
$ sudo apt-get install tomcat7
...
Creating config file /etc/logrotate.d/tomcat7 with new version
* Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat7 [ OK ]
Setting up authbind (2.1.1) ...
Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
So, to test it, you have to write in browser http://localhost:8080
. And you will see the page:
It works !
If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup
Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!
This is the default
Tomcat home page. It can be found on the local filesystem at:
/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT/index.html
Tomcat7 veterans might be pleased to learn that this system
instance of Tomcat is installed with CATALINA_HOME
in
/usr/share/tomcat7
and CATALINA_BASE
in
/var/lib/tomcat7
, following the rules from
/usr/share/doc/tomcat7-common/RUNNING.txt.gz
.
