Apache Tomact Server


++++++++++++++++++++

=> Apache Tomcat is a web server

=> Apache Tomcat is used to run Java Web Applications

=> Apache Tomcat is free & open source

=> Apache Tomcat runs on 8080 port bydefault (we can change that port)

Apache Tomcat Folder Structure


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

bin : It contains commands to start and stop tomcat server

conf : It contains configuration files

lib : It contains libraries (jar files)

logs : It contains server log files

temp : Temp files will be created here (we can delete them)

webapps : This is called as deployment folder

Note: We will keep war file in webapps folder for deployment

Working with Apache Tomact in Linux


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

-> Login into AWS Management Console

-> Create EC2 Instance (Amazon Linux AMI)

-> Connect to EC2 instance using MobaXterm / Putty

-> install java software using below command

$ sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

-> Verify the version of java installed in our machine

$ java -version

Note: If we have multiple java versions installed then we can switch to particular
version using below command

$ alternatives --config java

-> We can download apache tomcat from official website

URL : https://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi
-> We can find apache tomcat urls to download in official website downloads page

-> Copy the URL of tar file and execute below command in linux machine

$ wget <tomact-tar-file-url>

Note: I am using

"https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.63/bin/apache-tomcat-
9.0.63.tar.gz"

-> After tomact tar file got downloaded then extract Tomcat Tar file using below
command

$ tar -xvf <tomact-tar-file-name>

-> Go inside tomcat folder and see folder structure

$ cd tomact-folder
$ ls -ltr

-> Go to tomact bin directory and run tomact server

$ cd bin
$ ./startup.sh

Note: Tomcat Server runs on 8080 port by default. Enable this port in security
group as custom tcp

Type : Custom TCP


Protoal : TCP
Port Range: 8080
Source : Custom (0.0.0.0/0)

-> Access Tomact server from your browser

URL : http://EC2-VM-Public-IP:8080/

Note: It should open tomact server home page.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=> By default the Host Manager is only accessible from a browser running on the
same machine as Tomcat. If you wish to modify this restriction, you'll need to edit
the Host Manager's context.xml file.

=> File Location : <tomcat>/webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml

=> In Manager context.xml file, change <Valve> section like below (allow attribute
value changed)

<Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" >


<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow=".*" />
</Context>

Add tomact users in "tomact-folder/conf/tomact-users.xml" file like below


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<role rolename="manager-gui" />
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager-gui" />
<role rolename="admin-gui" />
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui,admin-gui"/>

-> Stop the tomact server and start it

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We can change tomcat server default port in tomact/conf/server.xml file
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

-> When we change tomact port number in server.xml file then we have to enable that
port in Security Group which is associated with our EC2 instance.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Steps to display Maven Web Application in Tomcat Server
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1) Create Maven Web application

2) Edit "index.jsp" file like below (File Location : project-folder\src\main\
