Installing the necessary software
apt-get update apt-get install sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-jre update-alternatives --config java update-alternatives --config javac apt-get install tomcat5.5
In case you also want the tomcat-example-webapps and the admin-interface, install also the following packages:
apt-get install tomcat5.5-admin tomcat5.5-webapps
In case you want to run an ordinary Apache as a proxy in front of Tomcat, also install the apache2.2 package, it includes the necessary mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http, as well as rewrite:
apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork apache2.2-common a2enmod proxy proxy_http proxy_ajp rewrite
Configuring Apache Tomcat 5.5
The file /etc/default/tomcat5.5 holds some configuration which we need to change: Change the following parameters:
#We have plenty of RAM, let's give it to Tomcat: CATALINA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xms512M -Xmx2048M -server" TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no
Add a user for managing tomcat, do to this, edit the file /etc/tomcat5.5/tomcat-users.xml and make it look like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <tomcat-users> <role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="admin"/> <role rolename="manager"/> <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/> <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="admin,manager"/> </tomcat-users>
So your user for managing tomcat will be "admin", with the password "admin".
Now, let's restart tomcat:
/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart
To see if all worked so far, navigate to http://localhost:8180/ and you should see the welcome-page of tomcat. Click on "Tomcat Manager" and enter admin/admin to check if your newly created user works
Deploying the opencms.war file
First, stop Tomcat, then copy the opencms.war into the webapps folder, and start Tomcat again:
/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop cp opencms.war /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/ /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start
