Install and configure tomcat

Monte, here’s how to install, configure, and deploy the Java-based application using Tomcat on appserver.

Step 1: Install Tomcat Server

  1. Update the system: bash sudo yum update -y
  2. Install Tomcat: bash sudo yum install -y tomcat

Step 2: Configure Tomcat to Run on Port 8082

  1. Open the Tomcat configuration file: bash sudo nano /etc/tomcat/server.xml
  2. Locate the following section: xml <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
  3. Change port="8080" to port="8082": xml <Connector port="8082" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
  4. Save and exit.

Step 3: Deploy ROOT.war

  1. Transfer ROOT.war from Jump Host to appserver: On the Jump Host, run: bash scp /tmp/ROOT.war user@stapp01:/tmp/

  2. Move ROOT.war to Tomcat’s deployment directory: bash sudo mv /tmp/ROOT.war /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/ROOT.war This ensures the app is deployed at the base URL.

Step 4: Start Tomcat and Verify Deployment

  1. Enable and Start Tomcat: bash sudo systemctl enable tomcat sudo systemctl start tomcat

  2. Check if Tomcat is running: bash sudo systemctl status tomcat

  3. Verify Deployment: Run: bash curl http://stapp01:8082 If successful, you should see the webpage output.

Everything should now be installed, configured, and deployed as required. 🚀 Let me know if you run into any issues!
