secure installation
Hi all,
I'm about to install Tomcat under RH9 and I'm not sure about the best
path installation and way to start, as regards the security.
It is advisable create a new user "tomcat" and install in /home/tomcat?
And about the way to start automatically? A simple script in init.d
directory could work well?
Thanks
Gianni

Gianni,

Place it in whatever directory makes sense to you.(Keep it simple)
Keep the permissions on the tomcat directories tight. Make them only
readable by tomcat etc.
If you need port 80 and 443 start tomcat as a daemon. For details:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/setup.html
If not, you can use the startup.sh script in the /bin directory. For
details:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/introduction.html
If you are going to connect to Apache then build Apache yourself or at
minimum add the development rpm, as you will need some components of it
(APR) to build the jk2 connector (not included in the standard Apache
install on RedHat). Advice: read about connector first, then do installs.
For details:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/index.html
Have fun!
