Tomcat 9 Getting Started
Hello,
I trust that your week is well and that this email finds you well. My name
is Enosh and I am a newbie to the system. I recently started a personal
learning project with DHIS2 and I needed to install the Apache servlet but
I keep on getting this error(attached screenshot). Please advise
accordingly on how to solve this issue. Thank you.

Olaf, Chris and Bernd,
Thank you all for the help, I managed to bypass the error by the
recommendations you gave me and now I am able to run the Tomcat server.
Thanks again and cheers!

I highly recommend using Olaf's suggestion of separating the
"concept" of the Tomcat installation directory (/opt/tomcat or
/opt/tomcat/latest if you prefer) with the actually location of the
un-tarred Tomcat distribution (e.g. /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-x.y.x).
I would also highly recommend that you take a look at the RUNNING.txt
file that comes with Tomcat with particular attention to the "Advanced
Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances" section. Even if you don't
intent to run multiple Tomcat instances simultaneously, you might want
to consider using a "split" Tomcat for ease of upgrading Tomcat in the
future.

so indeed you've extracted the archive into a subdirectory: You'll find
/opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.22/conf if you're looking for it. You can
move all of the content of the apache-tomcat-9.0.22 folder up one level,
or adjust your chmod command or the cd that you executed before. You'll
just find the content that you expect one folder further down.
Seeing the link in your directory, you should correct it, e.g.
rm /opt/tomcat/latest
ln -s /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.22 /opt/tomcat/latest
cd /opt/tomcat/latest
and continue from there. That directory will have the conf and all of
the other directories you expect.

What do you see when you execute
ls -la /opt/tomcat
?
It might be that you're just extracting into yet another subdirectory,
e.g. /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.24/

With the last command you wanted to change the access rights
of the folder that does not exist.
This is is more ,,Linux getting started''.
Try this ==>
man chmod

Re: Tomcat 9 Getting Started
Posted by Enosh Mogire <en...@gmail.com>.
Thank you Olaf for the kind reminder and my apologies to the entire team. I
am working on a system development and I am using the District Health and
Information System (*DHIS2*)which is a client-server based system
architecture that an organization can use to keep track of records,
activities and reports. To be able to implement the system on a server, I
was advised to use Tomcat as the servlet container alongside PostgreSQL
database system.
So after installing and extracting the Tomcat archive file, I needed to set
the required permissions on the files through the commands bellow
enosh@hp:~$ sudo chgrp -R tomcat /opt/tomcat
enosh@hp:~$ cd /opt/tomcat/
enosh@hp:/opt/tomcat$ sudo chmod -R g+r conf
The last command returns an error (chmod: cannot access 'conf': No such
file or directory) and it is where I am stuck. Please advise accordingly,
thank you.

Welcome,
please note that this list is read around the world, and people (like
me) might not know acronyms like DHIS2.
To help you, we'll need more details: "the Apache servlet" is not quite
descriptive, and this mailing list strips attachments - as the error
message most likely contains text: Please post the textual error message
here, along with log file contents and steps to reproduce - ideally with
everything required to reproduce the issue you're facing.
