Problem: You want to install href="http://tomcat.apache.org/">Tomcat on your sme
server
Solution: Follow this Howto

---

STEP 1: Download
java jdk and upload it to your sme server

Go to java.sun.com
and download jdk
For my example I use jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin
ATTENTION:
adapt all document jdk filename depending witch file you download

---

STEP
2:  Install Java jdk

class="def_bold">[root@server root]# chmod a+x jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin [root@server root]# ./jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin [root@server root]# ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06 /usr/java/jdk

After executing bin file, you can remove both file
jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin
and jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm

---

STEP 3: Download tomcat
last version

Go to href="http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi#Binary%20Distributions">Tomcat
download website.
Download Core module apache-tomcat-5.5.17.tar.gz and Administration Web application apache-tomcat-5.5.17-admin.tar.gz
if you want another tomcat modules go here.

class="def_bold">[root@server root]# wget http://apache.root.lu/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.17/bin/apache-tomcat-5.5.17.t... [root@server root]# wget http://apache.root.lu/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.17/bin/apache-tomcat-5.5.17-a...

---

STEP 4: Unpack archive

Unzip and move it

class="def_bold">[root@server root]# tar -xvzf apache-tomcat-5.5.17.tar.gz [root@server root]# tar -xvzf apache-tomcat-5.5.17-admin.tar.gz [root@server root]# mv apache-tomcat-5.5.17 /opt/ [root@server root]# cd /opt [root@server root]# ln -s apache-tomcat-5.5.17 tomcat

---

STEP 5: Create user and group

class="def_bold">[root@server root]# groupadd tomcat [root@server root]# useradd -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat tomcat [root@server root]# chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/tomcat/ [root@server root]# chmod 770 /opt/tomcat/

---

STEP 6: Create statup script

Edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat with your favorite text editor, it should contain the following :

#! /bin/bash # # tomcat Start the tomcat server. # NAME="Jakarta Tomcat 5" TOMCAT_HOME=/opt/tomcat CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk CATALINA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=iso8859-1" TOMCAT_USER=tomcat LC_ALL=fr_FR export TOMCAT_HOME CATALINA_HOME JAVA_HOME CATALINA_OPTS TOMCAT_USER LC_ALL cd $TOMCAT_HOME/logs case "$1" in   start)     echo -ne "Starting $NAME.\n"     /bin/su $TOMCAT_USER $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh     ;;   stop)     echo -ne "Stopping $NAME.\n"     /bin/su $TOMCAT_USER $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh     ;;   *)     echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/tomcat {start|stop}"     exit 1     ;; esac exit 0

---

STEP 7: Make startup script runable and make tomcat start automatically at boot

class="def_bold">[root@server root]# chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat [root@server root]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S98tomcat [root@server root]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K02tomcat [root@server root]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K02tomcat [root@server root]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K02tomcat [root@server root]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K02tomcat
