Make sure you change the username and password to something more secure: To add a new user who will be able to access the tomcat web interface (manager-gui and admin-gui) we need to define the user in tomcat-users.xml file as shown bellow. sudo vim /opt/tomcat/latest/conf/tomcat-users.xml

If you open the file you will notice that it is filled with comments and examples describing how to configure the file. Tomcat users and their roles are defined in the tomcat-users.xml file.
Configure Tomcat Web Management InterfaceĪt this point Tomcat is installed and we can access it with a web browser on port 8080, but we can not access the web management interface because we have not created a user yet. In most cases, when running Tomcat in a production environment you will use a load balancer or reverse proxy and it’s a best practice to allow access to port 8080 only to your internal network. Use the following commands to open the necessary port: sudo firewall-cmd -zone=public -permanent -add-port=8080/tcp If your server is protected by a firewall and you want to access the tomcat interface from the outside of the local network you also need to open port 8080. └─23833 /usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/java .file=/opt/tomcat/latest/conf/logging.properties =fi.Īnd if there are no errors you can enable the Tomcat service to be automatically started at boot time: sudo systemctl enable tomcat Process: 23826 ExecStart=/opt/tomcat/latest/bin/startup.sh (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/rvice disabled vendor preset: disabled)Īctive: active (running) since Sat 16:30:48 UTC 3s ago You can check the service status with the following command: sudo systemctl status tomcatĬopy rvice - Tomcat 8.5 servlet container Notify systemd that we created a new unit file and start the Tomcat service by executing: sudo systemctl daemon-reload etc/systemd/system/rvice Įnvironment="JAVA_OPTS=file:///dev/urandom"Įnvironment="CATALINA_BASE=/opt/tomcat/latest"Įnvironment="CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat/latest"Įnvironment="CATALINA_PID=/opt/tomcat/latest/temp/tomcat.pid"Įnvironment="CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms512M -Xmx1024M -server -XX:+UseParallelGC"ĮxecStart=/opt/tomcat/latest/bin/startup.shĮxecStop=/opt/tomcat/latest/bin/shutdown.sh To run Tomcat as a service we will create a rvice unit file in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory with the following contents: The tomcat user that we previously set up needs to have access to the tomcat directory, so we will change the directory ownership to user and group tomcat: sudo chown -R tomcat: /opt/tomcatĪnd we will also make the scripts inside bin directory executable: sudo chmod +x /opt/tomcat/latest/bin/*.shĬopy Advertisement Create a systemd unit file
Sudo mv apache-tomcat-8.5.33 /opt/tomcat/īecause Tomcat 8.5 is updated frequently to have more control over versions and updates, we will create a symbolic link latest which will point to the Tomcat installation directory: sudo ln -s /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.33 /opt/tomcat/latest
#DOWNLOAD TOMCAT 8.5 FOR CENTOS 7 ZIP FILE#
Once the download is completed, extract the zip file and move it to the /opt/tomcat directory: unzip apache-tomcat-*.zip Before continuing with the next step you should check the download page for any new version.Ĭhange to the /tmp directory and use wget to download the zip file: cd /tmp At the time of writing, the latest version is 8.5.33. We will download the latest version of Tomcat 8.5.x from the Tomcat downloads page. Instead we will create a new system user and group with home directory /opt/tomcat that will run the Tomcat service: sudo useradd -m -U -d /opt/tomcat -s /bin/false tomcat Running Tomcat as a root user is a security risk and is not recommended.

If you want to install Oracle Java instead of OpenJDK please check this guide. The installation is simple and straight forward: sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel In this tutorial we will install OpenJDK, the open source implementation of the Java Platform which is the default Java development and runtime in CentOS 7. It is best practice to run administrative commands as sudo user instead of root, if you don’t have a sudo user on your system you can create one by following these instructions. Prerequisitesīefore starting with this tutorial, make sure you are logged into your server with a user account with sudo privileges or with the root user.
