Installation of Apache Tomcat
You may download Apache Tomcat from the following URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat. Make sure that you use version 3.3.x or higher, but don't use version 4.x or higher.
Install (unzip) the files into a path containing no spaces. For example, c:\tomcat3.3.1. After install, create a tomcat_home environment variable pointing at the root of the Apache Tomcat installation. It is advisable to create a tomcat_opts environment variable specifying the heap size (memory) that the JVM can use to run Tomcat. Here is an example on how to do this:
Example: tomcat_opts = -Xms96m -Xmx192m (these values will work well for a computer with 256MB RAM).
To verify your installation of Tomcat, do the following:
- Start Tomcat
- Either: from Windows Start -> Program Menu
from <tomcat-install>/bin/startup.bat
Browse to: http://127.0.0.1:8080/ or http://localhost:8080/
This will verify that you can access the Tomcat "home page."
- Shut down Tomcat Either: from Windows Start -> Programs menu from <tomcat-install>/bin/shutdown.bat
