How to deploy Java application into Tomcat in Linux
Hi,
As per my understanding, the steps to deploy a Java application on Tomcat
(5.X/6.X) in Linux would be as follows:
1) Install Tomcat on Linux
2) Add a host entry in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf with the syntax like-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Host name="xxx.co.in" debug="0"
appBase="/opt/setuponm/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/sterlite/reportstool"
unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="false">
<Alias>reports.fion.co.in</Alias>
<Context path=""
docBase="/opt/setuponm/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/sterlite/reportstool" debug="0"
reloadable="false" crossContext="false" />
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above code would assign the host name to access the URL, gives the
location of the web application pointed out by appBase & context path.
3) Start Tomcat.
Please let me know if the steps above are correct and also please let me
know in detail if the steps are not correct.

Yes. Make sure it is a supported version of Tomcat.

This needs to go into CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml. We use
CATALINA_BASE to identify the installation of Tomcat that is actually
being launched. CATALINA_HOME is where Tomcat is installed, while
CATALINA_BASE is where it is configured in a multi-instance setup
(single install, multiple configuration). TOMCAT_HOME and
CATALINA_HOME could be considered the same thing, though TOMCAT_HOME
is not a recognized environment variable in any Tomcat script.

You should not put the above in CATLAINA_BASE/conf/server.xml.
Instead, you should have a META-INF/context.xml file in your web
application, and your WAR file should be ROOT.war (case matters, even
on case-insensitive filesystems) if you want to deploy as the ROOT
context.
The "debug" attribute is not valid in any supported version of Tomcat:
you should remove that. You've been reminded by many commenters, but
I'll mention it again: you are recklessly behind in your Tomcat
version. You need to upgrade.

Did you try the above? Did it work?

Hi.
Perhaps you should first reflect on the fact that Tomcat is open-source software, provided
for free, and developed and maintained by people who are not being paid to do so.
And then on the fact that this Tomcat Users List is similarly-staffed.
So your last phrase may be interpreted differently from what you think, like : if you want
detailed instructions, check the on-line Tomcat documentation, or hire some paid expert.
Hint : http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
This being said, the main thing that is wrong above is that you are talking about
installing new systems, yet using old versions of tomcat, one of them (5.x) not even
supported anymore. The current stable version of Tomcat is 7.0.52.
Which tends to show that you have not even done the minimum amount of homework, which
would be at least to look at the Tomcat website's homepage.
Hint : http://tomcat.apache.org
Had you done so, and consulted the on-line documentation, you may also have seen that it
is not recommended to place application <Context> elements inside Tomcat's server.xml file.
Hint : https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/deployer-howto.html#A_word_on_Contexts
So please go do some work yourself first. This list likes to help people who are also
willing to help themselves, not people just expecting someone else to do their homework.
