Set the road to add the following two lines of EXPORT JAVA_HOME = / OPT / JDK1.4 Export Tomcat_Home = / OPT / Tomcat here We assume that Java JDK is installed in the /opt/jdk1.4 directory. The default setting for activating rootroot is not activated (DISABLED). In order to activate the root, open the file tomcat / conf / server.xml and then remove the -> "to remove it! And ->. Activate Invoker Servlet Removes invoker / servlet / * / servlet / * Setting PortTomcat default port number is 8080. Since Tomcat is a stand-alone, it can work independently without Apache, so you can do not install Apache so you can set Tomcat in Port 80. This way you can omit in the URL: 8080. Open the file Tomcat / conf / server.xml, find the following field: and change 8080 to 80. Create a TEMP subdirectory to create a TEMP subdirectory in / opt / tomcat / directory MKDir Temp

or

http: // localhost: 8080 / (If you don't change Port Number to 80) If you see Tomcat's web page (index.jsp), you have proved that Tomcat is successful and has been started.

To close Tomcat, run the following command in / opt / tomcat / bin

./shutdown.sh
