"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." (Robert A. Heinlein)

Apache Tomcat on my Linux server

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

I installed Apache Tomcat on my little Linux server (PIII-550Mz) since I’m going to test some java server application at home. I mainly based my installation on this howto with some little variation.

I first installed Java jdk 

 sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

 Then I downloaded Apache Tomcat from my nearest mirror server

wget http://apache.fis.uniroma2.it/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.18/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.18.tar.gz

 Then I installed it

tar -xzvf apache-tomcat-6.0.18.tar.gz
sudo mv apache-tomcat-6.0.18 /opt/
sudo ln -s /opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/ /opt/tomcat
