Topic: help installing tomcat

[isotropic]

Good evening, gentlemen.
I'm Isotropic, from Brazil. And I came to ask: can anyone help me install Apache Tomcat?
I use SME version 10.1.
I'd like to install Tomcat version 9.x, but I always get an error. It runs at boot but stops shortly after.

Stopping ProtocolHandler http-nio-8080.

Thank you.

This is not a 5 minute job.

A start is here

You can follow the first parts down to the systemd unit file.

Create that and then you will need a dropin file as per this:

THisis the important bit:

/etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service.d/51custom.conf

Code: [Select]

[Install]
WantedBy= sme-server.target


(You can do the same thing but put it in /usr/lib/systemd/system is you prefer)

You will need a key:

Code: [Select]

config set tomcat service status enabled access public
Probably a post-upgrade/reboot and see if the service is up:

Code: [Select]

systemctl status tomcat
After that then you need to look at access - you could use AllowHosts and TCPPort keys in the config above to open ports and limit access.

Note :

In most cases, when running Tomcat in a production environment, you will use a load balancer or reverse proxy . It’s a best practice to allow access to port 8080 only to your internal network.

This is only a VERY rough and untested guide - you will lneed to do a lot of reading, and I suggest you build a test VM and experiment on that before using it in production.

Note also - v11 is around the corner. Instructions would be similar though.
