Tomcat 9 Installation and configuration on Linux (CentOS)

 Step 1) Download Java 8 from the following link

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html#license-lightbox

Step 2) Extract JDK 8 and create a symlink

[osboxes@tomcathost products]$ mkdir -p /home/osboxes/products/jdk/

[osboxes@tomcathost ~]$ tar -zxvf jdk-8u281-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /home/osboxes/products/jdk

[osboxes@tomcathost ~]$ cd /home/osboxes/products/jdk

[osboxes@tomcathost jdk]$ ln -s jdk1.8.0_281 jdk_latest
[osboxes@tomcathost jdk]$ pwd
/home/osboxes/products/jdk
[osboxes@tomcathost jdk]$ ls -rtl
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 8 osboxes osboxes 273 Dec  9 07:50 jdk1.8.0_281
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 osboxes osboxes  12 Feb  2 22:52 jdk_latest -> jdk1.8.0_281

Step 3) Setup JAVA_HOME 
 
[osboxes@tomcathost jdk]$ vi ~/.bash_profile

## add the following lines at the end of the file.
export JAVA_HOME=/home/osboxes/products/jdk/jdk_latest
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

[osboxes@tomcathost jdk]$ cat ~/.bash_profile
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs
export JAVA_HOME=/home/osboxes/products/jdk/jdk_latest
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH


Step 4) Execute .bash_profile and verify the java version

[osboxes@tomcathost jdk]$ . ~/.bash_profile
[osboxes@tomcathost jdk]$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_281"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_281-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.281-b09, mixed mode)

Step 5) Download and extract the tomcat binaries.

[osboxes@tomcathost ~]$ wget https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.41/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.41.tar.gz
--2021-02-02 23:04:10--  https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.41/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.41.tar.gz

apache-tomcat-9.0.41.tar.gz             100%[============================================================================>]  10.91M  9.08MB/s    in 1.2s

2021-02-02 23:04:12 (9.08 MB/s) - ‘apache-tomcat-9.0.41.tar.gz’ saved [11442169/11442169]

[osboxes@tomcathost ~]$ mkdir -p /home/osboxes/products/tomcat

[osboxes@tomcathost ~]$ tar -zxvf apache-tomcat-9.0.41.tar.gz -C /home/osboxes/products/tomcat

Step 6) Create a symlink to the binary location for easy upgrades.

[osboxes@tomcathost tomcat]$ cd /home/osboxes/products/tomcat/; ln -s apache-tomcat-9.0.41 tomcat90

Step 7 ) Create a New tomcat instance 

[osboxes@tomcathost ~]$ mkdir -p /home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance

[osboxes@tomcathost ~]$ cp -r /home/osboxes/products/tomcat/tomcat90/* /home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance/

[osboxes@tomcathost ~]$ cd /home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance/
[osboxes@tomcathost poc-tomcat-instance]$ ls -rlt
total 128

drwxr-x---. 7 osboxes osboxes    81 Feb  2 23:19 webapps
drwxr-x---. 2 osboxes osboxes     6 Feb  2 23:19 work

Step 8) create a log symlink to a different directory location

[osboxes@tomcathost poc-tomcat-instance]$ pwd
/home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance
[osboxes@tomcathost poc-tomcat-instance]$ mkdir -p /home/osboxes/logs/poc-tomcat-instance; rm -rf logs; ln -s /home/osboxes/logs/poc-tomcat-instance logs


Step 9) Create setenv.sh properties for customization

[osboxes@tomcathost poc-tomcat-instance]$ cd bin/
[osboxes@tomcathost bin]$ pwd
/home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance/bin

[osboxes@tomcathost bin]$ cat>setenv.sh

JAVA_HOME=/home/osboxes/products/jdk/jdk_latest
JRE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME/jre
CATALINA_HOME=/home/osboxes/products/tomcat/tomcat90
CATALINA_BASE=/home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance
LOG_DIR=$CATALINA_BASE/logs

JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps \
        -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:+UseG1GC -Xloggc:/home/osboxes/logs/poc-tomcat-instance/GC.log"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CATALINA_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin/$PATH

##JVM PID File
CATALINA_PID=/home/osboxes/logs/poc-tomcat-instance/jvm.pid

##JVM Memory Settings
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -server -d64 -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m"

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.library.path=$CATALINA_HOME/lib"

## umask settings for log permissions
umask 027



[osboxes@tomcathost bin]$ chmod u+x setenv.sh

Step 10) Start the tomcat instance

[osboxes@tomcathost bin]$ pwd
/home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance/bin
[osboxes@tomcathost bin]$ ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /home/osboxes/products/tomcat/tomcat90
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /home/osboxes/products/jdk/jdk_latest/jre
Using CLASSPATH:       /home/osboxes/products/tomcat/tomcat90/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/osboxes/instances/poc-tomcat-instance/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Using CATALINA_OPTS:
Using CATALINA_PID:    /home/osboxes/logs/poc-tomcat-instance/jvm.pid
Tomcat started.

Step 10) Verify the tomcat process status

[osboxes@tomcathost bin]$ ps -ef | grep java

osboxes     7389    1931  0 23:52 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto java


[osboxes@tomcathost bin]$ curl -Ik http://localhost:8080
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 2021 04:54:42 GMT

Step 11) Verify tomcat logs and make sure there are no errors.
