problem configuring tomcat7 in ubuntu 10.04
Hi,
I am new to both tomcat 7 and ubuntu. How can i configure tomcat server in
ubuntu 10.04 ? I am novice to ubuntu and tomcat so It would be nice if
anyone could explain in detail.
(I tried but could not configure.)
Regards,
Anisha Karki

I'm not an Ubuntu person, although I think there are people on the list who are.
Did you follow this page?
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/tomcat.html
If so, did you set up a private instance to run when you log on?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
Did you stop and disable the service before uninstalling?
Again, I'm not an Ubuntu person so I'm probably not the person to ask.

Thanks Mark. I had previously installed tomcat6. I unistalled it using
command: sudo apt-get remove --purge tomcat6. But still when i browse:
http://localhost:8080/ it displays tomcat 6 welcome page. I installed tomcat
7 as you explained but tomcat6 welcome page displays. Why is it so ?

Anisha

This really depends on what you want to accomplish. From your original mail message, I'm guessing that you might want to learn about running Tomcat and writing Java web applications on Ubuntu.
If that's your goal, then I find the easiest way to do things (on Fedora Linux at any rate) is the following:
1. Grab the latest version (currently 7.0.21) from tomcat.apache.org
2. Untar it in a directory controlled by your user
I normally create a directory called Apache or Servers in my home directory, and then place all of my servers underneath that. I can then organize multiple versions, clusters, virtual hosts, etc. without making too much of a mess.
Now you can read RUNNING.txt in the directory where you unpacked the Tomcat distribution. However, to get you started . . . .
3. Set $JRE_HOME to point to your Java JRE installation
4. Switch to $CATALINA_HOME/bin and type ./startup.sh
$CATALINA_HOME is where you unpacked the distribution in step 2 above.
5. Open a browser to http://localhost:8080
You should see the Tomcat welcome page at this point.
Before you can implement new web applications, you'll probably find it easier to set up the management application. Read the documentation on your running Tomcat on how to do that. The URL for that would be:
http://localhost:8080/docs/manager-howto.html
The link is on the welcome page of your running Tomcat.
6. When you're done, stop Tomcat with $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
In the above, I'm assuming you're using the command line to maneuver around Ubuntu. I suppose you can accomplish the same via the GUI, but I have no idea how the new Unity interface works.
Setting up Tomcat in a directory you control solves a lot of potential permissions problems. It's easier to edit $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml without having to sudo every time. It's also easier to start/stop Tomcat and integrate it with an IDE if the installation is in a directory you control.
You'll find out that Linux permissions are quite a bit different than Windows permissions. It's best not to go cluttering up your system with user files (or relaxing permissions in system directories) until you become more comfortable with the way Linux works.
Hopefully that will be enough to get you started. Next up, looking at version control (rcs for simple Tomcat configuration files, git or svn for projects), and an IDE (NetBeans or Eclipse) is probably in order.
After that, you can look at running a different copy of Tomcat as a service, and integrating it with Apache HTTPD.
. . . . just my two cents.

Excerpted quote from the documentation:
"the full distribution (ZIP file or tarball) includes a file called RUNNING.txt"
which is about exactly that...

You don't need to build Tomcat - it's pure Java. Have you bothered to read any of the docs?

Hi,
I downloaded tomcat 7.0.0 unzipped it and kept in /user/local/tomcat7/. Now
i dont know how to proceed further in ubuntu. In windows i started tomcat by
running the executable files. But in ubuntu i am stuck. Is there any
documentation or step by step explanation on how to configure and make
tomcat work (in ubuntu) ?

Please explain exactly what would you like to achieve.
To install Tomcat you need to download it from tomcat.apache.org , untar archive and start it by running $tomcat_path/bin/catalina.sh start .
