Hi, I'm wondering if anything special needs to be done when installing Tomcat on my Ubuntu 14.04 server after it has been configured for shared hosting using ISPConfig3. I couldn't find a guide based on Ubuntu 14.04, so I thought I would ask. See my signature for server configuration summary. Cheers, Nap
Hi I have not tested it in Ubuntu 14.04, have tested it in CentOS 7 reference I believe your ISPConfig is working fine, just create a website through ISPConfig webinterface namely viz tomcat. Upload the files in webroot directory after downloading it and unzipping from here wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/internet/apache/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.0.9/bin/apache-tomcat-8.0.9.zip It should work
@srijan, thanks The download link you supplied is now dead. However, you can go directly to the Apache Tomcat download page and get the "tar.gz" in the Core section. I followed your instructions except that I unpacked the archive into /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.14 and used ISPConfig to open port 8080 (which is open by default). I was able to access Tomcat from all my virtual hosts on that port and it seems to work fine with Ubuntu 14.04. I did all this on a local copy of my VPS and am now I'm intending to put it on the live server. Would you, or anyone else, know of some good references that explain how to secure Tomcat for public use? And manage it overall? Cheers, Nap
