1. OverviewSimply put, Apache Tomcat is a web server and servlet container that’s used to deploy and serve Java web applications.In this quick article, we’ll see how to install Tomcat, how to configure a user for the Tomcat Manager, and create an SSL certificate to allow Tomcat to serve HTTPS content.2. Install Tomcat on Windows In this section, we will install and start the Tomcat server on Windows.2.1. Download and Prepare First, we need to download Tomcat.Let’s download the server as a zip file for Windows:Next, we’ll simply uncompress Tomcat into its directory.2.3. Install On Windows, a quick additional installation is necessary. Let’s open the Windows terminal and from the Tomcat installation bin directory:C:\Java\Apache Tomcat 9.0.70\bin>Next, let’s install the service:C:\Java\Apache Tomcat 9.0.70\bin>service installThe output should be similar to this:Installing the service 'Tomcat9' ...Using CATALINA_HOME: "C:\Java\Apache Tomcat 9.0.70"Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\Java\Apache Tomcat 9.0.70"Using JAVA_HOME: "C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_40"Using JRE_HOME: "C:\Java\jre1.8.0_40"Using JVM: "C:\Java\jre1.8.0_40\bin\client\jvm.dll"The service 'Tomcat9' has been installed.2.4. Start the Tomcat Service Let’s run the command to start the service:C:\Java\Apache Tomcat 9.0.70\bin>sc start Tomcat9We should get the following output:SERVICE_NAME: Tomcat9 TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS STATUS : 2 START_PENDING (NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN) WIN32_OUTPUT_CODE : 0 (0x0) SERVICE_OUTPUT_CODE: 0 (0x0) CHECK-POINT : 0x0 START-INDICATOR : 0x7d0 PID : 5552 MARKS :Let’s open the URL in the browser. We should see the Tomcat Welcome screen:3. Installing Tomcat on Linux (Debian) We’ll install Tomcat on Ubuntu Linux 16.06, but this procedure should work well on any Debian-based Linux distribution.3.1. Download and Uncompress Let’s download and uncompress Tomcat:$ sudo mkdir /opt/tomcat$ sudo tar xvf apache-tomcat-9.0.70.tar.gz -C /opt/tomcat --strip-components=13.2. Ensure That Java Is InstalledLet’s also make sure that we have Java installed and its’s available on the system:$ java -versionWe should get the following output:3.3. Create a User and a Group We’ll run the server under a separate group and user. Let’s create a group for it first:$ sudo groupadd tomcatAnd let’s create a Tomcat user to avoid using the root user:$ sudo useradd -s /bin/false -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat tomcatLet’s also update the permissions of the server – to use them with the new user and group:$ cd /opt/tomcat$ sudo chgrp

HomeProductsService ProtectorServicesTomcatHow to Keep Tomcat Windows Service Running 24/7 with Service ProtectorQuickly auto-restart Tomcat when it crashes, gets stuck or stops serving web pages. Ensure 100% uptime for your java web applications today!Tomcat is a popular, open source Java Servlet engine developed by the Apache Foundation.To monitor & protect Tomcat with Service Protector:Download, install, and configure Tomcat as a Windows Service, if necessary. We have installed version 7.0.35 on our Windows Server 2008 R2 server.Download and install Service Protector, if necessary.Start Service Protector.Select Protector > Add to open the Add Protector window:On the General tab:In the Service to protect field, choose the Tomcat windows service. This will be named Apache Tomcat X.Y TomcatX, where X.Y represents the software's version number.Since we have installed Tomcat version 7.0.35, our service is named Apache Tomcat 7.0 Tomcat7.You will notice a green circle to the left of the name if Tomcat is already running, as pictured below.Click over to the Monitor tab, where we will set up a failure detection script to tell Service Protector when Tomcat has failed and is not serving web pages.Follow these instructions to create the failure detection BAT file. We have called ours check-tomcat.bat and placed it in a folder called C:\TomcatTools.Check the Whenever it fails a "sanity check" box. Click the ... button and specify the full path to the batch file.Specify how often to check. The default of 30 seconds may be too frequent, so we changed it to 5 minutes.If you find that the Tomcat windows

There are several ways to set up Tomcat for running on different platforms. The main documentation for this is a file called RUNNING.txt. We encourage you to refer to that file if the information below does not answer some of your questions. Installing Tomcat on Windows can be done easily using the Windows installer. Its interface and functionality is similar to other wizard based installers, with only a few items of interest. Installation as a service: Tomcat will be installed as a Windows service no matter what setting is selected. Using the checkbox on the component page sets the service as "auto" startup, so that Tomcat is automatically started when Windows starts. For optimal security, the service should be run as a separate user, with reduced permissions (see the Windows Services administration tool and its documentation). Java location: The installer will provide a default JRE to use to run the service. The installer uses the registry to determine the base path of a Java 7 or later JRE, including the JRE installed as part of the full JDK. When running on a 64-bit operating system, the installer will first look for a 64-bit JRE and only look for a 32-bit JRE if a 64-bit JRE is not found. If a JRE cannot be found when running on a 64-bit operating system, the installer will look for a 64-bit JDK. Finally, if a JRE or JDK has not been found, the installer will try to use the JAVA_HOME environment variable. It is not mandatory to use the default JRE detected by the installer. Any installed Java 7 or later JRE (32-bit or 64-bit) may be used. Tray icon: When Tomcat is run as a service, there will not be any tray icon present when Tomcat is running. Note that when choosing to run Tomcat at the end of installation, the tray icon will be used even if Tomcat was installed as a service. Defaults: The defaults used by the installer may be overridden by use of the /C= command line argument. The configuration file uses the format name=value with each pair on a separate line. The names of the available configuration options are: JavaHome TomcatPortShutdown TomcatPortHttp TomcatMenuEntriesEnable TomcatShortcutAllUsers TomcatServiceDefaultName TomcatServiceName TomcatServiceFileName TomcatServiceManagerFileName TomcatAdminEnable TomcatAdminUsername TomcatAdminPassword TomcatAdminRoles By using /C=... along with /S and /D= it is possible to perform fully configured unattended installs of Apache Tomcat. Refer to the Windows Service How-To for information on how to manage Tomcat as a Windows service. The installer will create shortcuts allowing starting and configuring Tomcat. It is important to note that the Tomcat administration web application can only be used when Tomcat is running. Tomcat can be run as a daemon using the

The Tomcat Windows Service How-To guide lists some commands to run/stop/etc the service from the command line. For example:Tomcat7 //ss// (with whatever parameters)Is there any practical difference to just using Windows NET START and NET STOP or Powershell Start-Service and Stop-Service? Is it "better" to use the Tomcat commands? I.e. if I use NET STOP, is there any possibility that Tomcat won't clean itself up properly, or anything like that? asked Jan 26, 2015 at 23:42 I never experienced any problem stopping it like any other services versus using the Tomcat helper program. answered Jan 26, 2015 at 23:50 ETLETL6,6711 gold badge32 silver badges49 bronze badges Is it "better" to use the Tomcat commands?They are equivalent: Any Windows executable that stops a service eventually calls the ControlService Windows API function with the SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP parameter.The Tomcat service control executable is actually called Procrun. It does have the nice --StopTimeout parameter that can wait for the service to terminate. Depending on the applications your Tomcat instance runs, this parameter may be useful in automation scripts. (I use this parameter in Apache Tomcat Setup to wait for the service to stop during upgrades.) answered Feb 1, 2024 at 0:12 You must log in to answer this question.
