    How

    to Install and Setup Apache Tomcat 8


    on AIX 7.2

    Introduction
    Apache Tomcat is an open-source web server and servlet container developed by
    the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements several Java EE specifications
    including Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages (JSP), Java EL, and WebSocket, and provides a "pure
    Java" HTTP web server environment for Java code to run in. The latest stable Tomcat release
    is 8.5 and in this article, we will see how to install and configure Tomcat 8.5 on AIX 7.2

    Step 1: Install and Verify Java


    Tomcat is completely written in Java hence to run it on AIX we need not to compile it again.
    The only requirement is to have correct version of Java on AIX. To run Tomcat 8.5 we need
    to have Java 7 or later on AIX.

    If you don’t have Java 7 or later already on your AIX system then download and install it.
    To install latest Java 8 on AIX please download IBM Java 8 for AIX from the following
    location

    https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/service.html

    Download 64bit version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Development Kit (SDK)
    Java8_64.jre.tar
    Java8_64.sdk.tar

    I used wget to download the Java JRE and SDK on my AIX system. For ease of use I have
    installed yum from AIX toolbox and used yum to install wget.


    Download/Copy Java8_64.jre.tar and Java8_64.sdk.tar to AIX system. Untar the files and
    install them using installp command or SMITTY.

    # tar -xvf Java8_64.jre.tar
    # tar -xvf Java8_64.sdk.tar
    # installp -agXYd . Java8_64.jre Java8_64.sdk

    Sample Output




    Verify Java 8 is installed using lslpp command. Add Java8 path
    (/usr/java8_64/jre/bin:/usr/java8_64/bin) in your PATH environment variable and verify the
    version of Java on the system using “java –version” command.

    # lslpp -l | grep Java8
    # java -version

    Sample Output

    Step 2: Download and Install Latest Tomcat


    After installing and verifying Java8, download and install latest Tomcat. To download latest
    Tomcat 8 please visit
    http://Tomcat.apache.org/download-80.cgi

    At the time this article is written most recent version of Tomcat available is 8.5.13.


    Download the latest available Tomcat 8 on your system. I used wget to download apache-
    tomcat-8.5.13.tar.gz

    # wget http://redrockdigimark.com/apachemirror/tomcat/tomcat-
    8/v8.5.13/bin/apache-tomcat-8.5.13.tar.gz

    Sample Output





    Unzip and untar the downloaded tomocat gzip file on the AIX system. As Tomcat is purely
    written in Java it does not require any special install process. After untar the Tomcat is
    available to run.

    # gunzip apache-tomcat-8.5.13.tar.gz
    # tar -xvf apache-tomcat-8.5.13.tar

    Sample output





    Now we are all set to start Tomcat webserver. Go to apache-tomcat-8.5.13/bin directory
    and run ./startup.sh script to start Tomcat server.

    # cd /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.13/bin
    # ./startup.sh

    Sample output




    Now you can open Tomcat from your web browser. By default, Tomcat starts on port 8080.
    So to open Tomcat using http://<aix system ip or hostname.domain>:8080




    Step 3: Configuring Tomcat Web Management Interface


    By default, you can access only default Tomcat web page. To access web management
    interface “Server Status, Manager App and Host Manager” we need to add user with
    manager-gui and admin-gui role to our Tomcat server. You can have two users for these two
    roles or can create one single user to have both the roles. To add users, we need to edit
    /opt/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml file and add users with role in this file. In this example
    only one user is created with both the roles.

    # vi /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.13/conf/tomcat-users.xml

    Sample output



    Also, to access web interface we need to provide access to system from where the Tomcat
    server is getting accessed, this is the system where you have opened web browser to access
    Tomcat server. To add the system ip in access list edit the file /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-
    8.5.13/webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml and /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-
    8.5.13/webapps/host-manager/META-INF/context.xml and add your system ip, for example
    my system ip is 10.10.10.11

    # vi /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.13/webapps/manager/META-
    INF/context.xml
    # vi /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.13/webapps/host-
    manager/META-INF/context.xml

    Sample output



    Now everything is setup. Restart Tomcat and access web interface. To restart shutdown and
    start Tomcat server again.

    # cd /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.13/bin
    # ./shutdown.sh
    # ./startup.sh

    Sample output




    Step 4: Access Tomcat Web Management Interface
    Now we have created a user and provided access to the system for accessing web
    management interface. Open the browser and enter your server's domain name or IP
    address with port 8080. Default Tomcat page will be shown, click on Manager App or other
    web management interface and it will ask username and password. Enter the username and
    password provided in the tomcat-users.xml.

    It will show you




    Congratulation!!! you have setup Tomcat server on AIX. You can start deploying you Java
    applications.
