How to setup Apache Tomcat on Linux?
- Download Java SDK from
download the "self-extracting file"
- Install Java SDK
Open new shell type su to login as root
#su #chmod +x j2sdk-1_4_2_09-linux-i586.bin #./j2sdk-1_4_2_09-linux-i586.bin
press enter till finish the agreement and type y to start installation. you will find it installed in your home directory
- set Java Environment Variables
#export JAVA_HOME=/home/hashim/j2sdk1.4.2_09/ #export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin
replace the directory above with the correct directory according to your system.
- Test Java version
if you want to know the current java version type you should see
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_09-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_09-b05, mixed mode)
- Download Tomcat
download version 5.0.28 to be compatible with JDK 1.4.2 because the latest versions of tomcat require JDK5
- extract tomcat
- Install Tomcat
#cd jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 #cd bin #tar xvfz jsvc.tar.gz #cd jsvc-src #chmod +x configure #./configure #make #cp jsvc .. #cd ..
- Run Tomcat
you should see the Tomcat Administration page
- Test Tomcat
go to webapps/ROOT in the tomcat directory and create page hello.html and write in it
- Make JSP page
go to webapps/ROOT in the tomcat directory and create page hello.jsp and write in it the following lines
< %=new String("Hello Ahmed Hashim")% > <br> < %=new java.util.Date()% > <br>
you should see my Name
- Monitor Tomcat
you can see the log file in the logs directory
- Stop Tomcat
go to the tomcat bin directory
Note:- I can see that Tomcat on Linux faster that tomcat in windows at least 3 times in both startup, shutdown and in compiling.

why script sample didnt appear?
the '%' character should appe
the '%' character should appear directly after/before the start/closing tag marker ..so it would be like <=%new java.util.Date()%>
and not < =%new java.util.Date()% >

I don't know what you are talking about, about my last comment on this page it was about the format of the script in side the artile not as a JSP code.
