I am not yet a Linux guy and I am finding some difficulties trying to install TomCat 8 on an Ubuntu 15.04 system that I have to use as development environment.
So I am following this tutorial (I don't know if it is a good tutorial...): http://tutorialforlinux.com/2015/04/21/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-ubuntu-15-04-vivid-32-64bit-gnulinux-easy-visual-guide/
So I have downloaded the apache-tomcat-8.0.23.tar.gz file from TomCat website and I have extract it.
Now as shown in the tutorial I try to perform this statmet:
andrea@andrea-virtual-machine:~/Scaricati$ sudo chmod -R root:root /apache-tomcat*
but I obtain this error message:
chmod: modo non valido: "root:root"
that in english should be sometning like chmod mode not allowed (or something like this).
What could be the problem? How can I correctly install TomCat 8 on my Ubuntu 15.04 system? What exactly does the previous statment?
Tnx
