Tomcat Installation
The Tomcat software is available on the Apache Software Foundation website. The file to
download for Linux servers is apache-tomcat-6.0.14.tar.gz file. The following provides

# /usr/local/apache-tomcat/bin/startup.sh
The following messages display:
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/apache-tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/local/jdk
3. Verify the Tomcat installation by launching a browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://<YOUR_TOMCAT_SERVER_IP>:8080/
The Tomcat web page displays as shown in Figure 1.
