after downloading apache-Tomcat 7 // open terminal go to that downloading file folder in which tar.gz file is still.

Untar the tar file

  • tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz

    move a extracted directory of apache-Tomcat7 in current path

  • sudo mv Directory_Name(Extracted eg.apache-Tomcat 7.0.32) /usr/local/Tomcat7

to set environment variable for Tomcat7

then Nano editor will open ..

 JAVA_HOME =/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
 export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

  • to set the role and username and password.

<role rolename="manager-gui" />
<role rolename="manager-script" />
<role rolename="manager-jmx" />
<role rolename="manager-status" />
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status"/>

Why is the installation description different from the above way of installation and the way it is described in the Tomcat Setup page(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html) at the tomcat site under the title Unix daemon.

Tomcat generally doesn't need to be "installed" . Just unzip it and go. Most of the time there is no need for any configuration to get it going out-of-the-box. Of course, once you start adding .war apps and other things, then configuration is needed, mostly in the server.xml file.
