Troubleshooting Tomcat installation

Can anyone tell me the proper way to install Tomcat because when I do http://<server-name>:8080, I get error. Mycrosoft Personal web server is alos running in the same machine. Would that be a problem?
Thanks!

9.0.0.251028. I have tried using .NET frameworkk 2, 3.5 and 4
I could be wrong, but I think CF9.0.1 is required for .net 4 support. So that might be part of the issue. If you intend to upgrade to 9.0.1 (or just want to reinstall the .net services) I would recommend reading this entry: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/767.cfm
In particular:
#2 - Uninstalling/reinstalling the CF .net services
#3 - .. Make sure you install it to the same location as it was previously located
#5 - Clearing the generated proxy jars.
... those steps solved some problems I was having after upgrading from .net 2 => 3.5.
One thing to watch out for with reinstalls is wrong port numbers. The installation should make a backup of \jnbridge folder as part of the process, but ... it would not hurt to make note of the original ports just in case:

HELP! XP ENVIRONMENT VARs and Tomcat installation

Hello people. I found out that at work we'll be switching over to Windows XP soon. But the problem is that our system administrator has disabled the ability to create/edit SYSTEM environment variables. I can't just ask him to enabled it because our IS department doesn't support JAVA :(. Previously, I had Tomcat on a Win98SE box w/o the sys admin knowledge (but don't get me wrong, I was doing work-related stuff with the tomcat server), so it wasn't an issue before. Is there a workaround to creating the JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, and PATH environment variables? What about the "User Variables"? Can I create "user variables" instead? Or can I create and run a DOS batch file that sets the necessary system environment variables for the tomcat installation? This is what I've been doing (DOS batch method) currently with the Win98 box. Sorry I have very little experience with XP, but from what I've heard, it can be very restricting depending upon on how it was setup by the system admins. Out of the box w/o sys admins, I've heard it's an ok OS.
Anyways...any help is greatly appreciated.
...damn those system administrators :( :p

Also another question. To install the SDK1.4, do I just install it like I normally do as in a Win98 box? I thought there was a XP plug-in that needed to be downloaded and installed too some time ago? Did the plug-in later became built into the installation bundle? I read somewhere there was a legal judgement made to force Microshaft to support Java?
Sorry I've been out of the XP loop...

How do i contact someone who can troubleshoot my installation?

how do i contact someone who can troubleshoot my installation?

I have a 3yr old HP running Windows 7. For a class in Powerpoint the school allowed me to download MS Office 2013. In a exercise to embed a video from YouTube it said I needed an Adobe Flash video plugin so I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 3 times with a reboot before the last time. Each time the same message came up. I initially reached out to this forum to see if there was a phone number for Adobe. Since the clock is ticking for when the assignment is due I hired the Geek Squad to troubleshoot. After optimizing my PC this is the message they ended up with after 6 hrs of work.
11:09 PM Agent Tyler A.: As none of the other agents who are on currently are able to offer further steps to resolve this, I'd recommend you reconnect in the morning or bring the computer into your local Best Buy. Also we may need to remove and reinstall office leaving only one version on here (you have 2007 and 2013) as well, so please have your product keys ready. Aside from this issue your computer is fully optimized and up to date! Thank you for using Geek Squad Online Support.　 Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with and know that we are here for any future issues you may have. You may close this box to end your session which will bring up a survey page regarding your experience with me. Any comments are appreciated!
I am hesitant to bring it in since I don't know how long it would take to re-install and I kind of feel they didn't know what else to suggest. I am obviously at a point of frustration and don't have a clue as to why this is such an issue. Is it Adobe, is it MS, all are guesses. Forums aren't my favorite which is why I hoped for a live rep.

Installer Logs Location for Troubleshooting Failed Installs.

I'm attempting to troubleshoot failed installations on packages built with the Mac version of AAMEE 3.0. Where are the installer logs located that give relevant failure information? The system log only passes along the generic "The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." message when the install fails. Thanks.

The detail logs can be found at PDApp.log file present in user specific temp folder. You can find this folder using %temp%\PDApp.log (if msi is run from logged-in user account) OR [BootDrive]:\windows\Temp\PDAp.log. (No user logged in)

Help! -why can't start Tomcat --Installation problem??

I downloaded Tomcat 5.0.30.exe and installed Tomcat 5 and JDK 5 on my local computer (I also have IIS installed, and Java App Server (from J2EE); yes I have plenty of space lol);
I did this in the command line:
Set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.5_03; and I also added this env variable to my user & system Path variables in System Properties dialogue (just to exclude this problem).
and I remember during the Tomcat.exe installation, the JVM was already correctly set to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5_03\bin\client\jvm.dll (I also tried set JVM to C:\jdk1.5_03\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll and it did not seem to make any difference)
I am still not able to startup the service (don't see my admin page even though the system tray says the Tomcat is running).
Does any of the above setup seem wrong? I'm a novice in Java/JSP and just want to try developing some web service in Java/JSP instead of ASP or .NET.
I'd appreciate all your advice and help!!
Thanks in advance!!

When I say "Startup" in the command, the original command window displays Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\apache\tomcat5, so I guess it was correctly set already ...?
By default, it is using 8080 port... If I have my IIS running, would that have conflict? IIS runs on 80. I don't think I've anything running on 8080.

Tomcat installation without OpenJDK

Hello archies,
please, can I install Tomcat server (no tomcat-native package) without OpenJDK? I using Oracle's JDK in my /opt directory
sudo pacman -S tomcat8
resolving dependencies...
:: There are 2 providers available for java-runtime>=7:
:: Repository extra
1) jre7-openjdk 2) jre8-openjdk
Enter a number (default=1):
I cannot choose another than 1 or 2
Some hints? Or just manual installation? Thanks

I strongly advise you against manually installing software thare are provided as packages by your distro (either in official repos – tomcat*, OpenJDK – or AUR – Oracle JDK).
To sum up (and if you insist you do not want OpenJDK), if I were you I would:
1) Remove all the JAVA_HOME, and PATH variables you mention from ~/.bashrc and ~/.xinitrc (very important)
2) Install jre8-oracle and jdk8-oracle from AUR or from my repo. As these packages provide "java-environment" now you can…
3) Install tomcat8 from extra
4) Configure tomcat8 to use Oracle JVM à la systemd:
# cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/tomcat8.service /etc/systemd/system/
# vim /etc/systemd/system/tomcat8.service
In this last line you want to change
Environment=TOMCAT_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk
by
Environment=TOMCAT_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
Then start Tomcat 8 and check it is started with Oracle JVM by visiting http://localhost:8080/manager/status:
Tomcat Version JVM Version JVM Vendor OS Name OS Version OS Architecture Hostname IP Address
Apache Tomcat/8.0.11 1.8.0_20-b26 Oracle Corporation Linux 3.16.1-1-ARCH amd64 columbia 127.0.0.1

2 tomcat installation guides

Hi, i've struggled a lot to get tomcat working as it should. Finally I came across a tutorial on the web for tomcat 6, that was of great help for me.
http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/
This tutorial contains a detailed description on how to install tomcat. At the end there are three tests for servlets. When they all work, tomcat is working fine. You can even download a preconfigured tomcat! (but I didn't try that)
For those who are working with Linux and who don't know much about setting environment variables, paths and classpath: have also a look at:
http://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/c140.html
Don't follow the install instructions here because it's about tomcat 5, and the installation is a bit different, but there's a detailed explanation about setting the environment variables. You won't find these in the first guide.
I see lots of questions on this forum, concerning installation and configuration of tomcat. I hope that new users will find these two guides as usefull as I found

hi kasu
you can find the installation guide for 4.6c here mostly it will be same for ECC 6 also

Tomcat installation permission

Hi all,
i installed tomcat7 on my pc but I received the following error:
warning: directory permissions differ on /etc/tomcat7/
filesystem: 770 package: 775
warning: directory permissions differ on /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/
filesystem: 755 package: 775
find: `tomcat' is not the name of a known user
what does it mean? should I change the permission in my filesystem?
thanks

Hi,
you have to setup a password for your tomcat admin user in tomcat-users.xml. You can find more information on how to do this by looking in the internet. It is not really necessary to administer your tomcat server installation though.
Regards,
Stratos
PS:The credentials of the tomcat administrator have nothing to do with the credentials of the BOBJ administrator, which you have the option to set during the installation

Tomcat Installation Erroring out

Tomcat can not find the java compiler to compile the JSP pages.
Possible resons.
1: You didn't set the JAVA_HOME environment variable correctly.
2: You don't have the java sdk but are trying to use the java jre.

thanx in advance

i do'nt wanna test my servlet over the network not that i mind doin that but
that will make me to and fro the server room I am sorry, I didn't get you. What do you have in your machine (pc). You don't require centralized server to run Tomcat. You can as well run this in your local machine. Just have a look at,
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-ug.html,
it will run on windows nt/workstation/2000/95/98 etc. I hope you are using one among them.

Hi,
You should ask your question in a Tomcat forum, and not a programming forum.

Broken Tomcat installation on WinXP - JAVA_HOME error

I am new to WinXP ... but have to use it. The problem I am experiencing is due to error in setting JAVA_HOME.
I am in the process of installing a Tomcat 5.5.20 and have problems with correctly seting JAVA_HOME environmental variable.
My jre is at "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10", and this is a value I placed at JAVA_HOME=.C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10
When I am testing it running %Java_Home%\bin\java ... I am getting back the same error I am getting when I'm run startup.bat i.e., "'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command".
This must be my lack of experience with DOS/WInXP -- do I have to place quotes? is this a problem?
Thx for help...

OK. I found the problem. I am writing this for others who may encounter the same problem while working late ... and perhaps be a bit desparate ...
YOU MUST LOAD A FULL JDK! For whatever reasons, there is(are?) JDK distributions that offer reduced functionality - no jdb.exe and so on.
I found it hard way by tracing execution of "setclasspath.bat". Without badmouthing the script, let me only say that it's diagnostic msgs are somewhat cryptic. In the first scan they indicate error in defining JAVA_HOME, however once you look why are you geting the msg, it is clearly generated on the exit when failing to validate that (in my case) jdb.exe is not available.
Given this clue, I checked (googled) for missing jdb.exe and here is a smoking gun:
<http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5128446&messageID=9458490>

Tomcat Installation Problem

I am using Win98 and jdk version 1.3.1_03. For JAVA_HOME, i set it by typing "set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1_03" and CATALINA_HOME, "set CATALINA_HOME=c:\jakart~1" (my tomcat is installed in this directory) in command prompt.
When i do jakart~1\bin\startup, the command prompt window shows this:

The default space for environment variables is 256 bytes by default. More environment variables are being set than can fit in 256 bytes.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods:
Method 1
Right-click the MS-DOS Prompt shortcut, and then click Properties.
Click the Memory tab.
In the Initial Environment box, set the initial environment size you want (from 256 to 4,096 bytes, in 256-byte increments).
Click OK.
Method 2
Edit the Autoexec.bat file to include any environment variables that you need to set, and then reboot the computer. The changes are incorporated into the registry and the environment variable size is increased.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows Millennium Edition ignores Config.sys statements to increase the environment variable size.
For a list of command-line options, type command.com /?.

Tomcat Installation and setting Java Classpath

Please help me in setting up Java classpath for Tomcat Server. I am unable to start the Server itself.

try this it worked for me..install Tomcat and Ant in 2 seperate directories, if you are win98 or less edit your autoexec.bat file and set the class paths as follows
set PATH=C:\jdk1.3\bin;%PATH%
set ANT_HOME=C:\Ant
set TOMCAT_HOME=C:\Tomcat
set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3
If you are using windows 2000 or NT you have to goto control panel --> system --> advanced and click environment variables
for name type in say TOMCAT_HOME and for value type in c:\Tomcat
restart your computer.
Then goto tomcat\bin and type startup....in a browser type in http://localhost:8080 and you are in
hope this helps
