Where can I find the Tomcat 7 installation folder on Linux AMI in Elastic Beanstalk?
I have a elastic beanstalk linux-tomcat ami instance with the sample application installed and working off the public dns. I'm able to ssh into the instance but cannot find where tomcat 7 lives (ie. the conf directory to edit server.xml). I've tried this with a 64 and 32 bit ami. Any ideas on where I might find this? I looked under:
/etc
/usr/share
I did find a elasticbeanstalk-tomcat7-deployment
file under tmp
(was empty).
I did a:
sudo yum install tomcat7
and the sample application is also being served up from :8080
and working on the public DNS. So I (think) have 2 tomcat servers running on the same beanstalk instance. In that case, I'm trying to find where the Tomcat 7 folders are (serving pages on port 80
).
Solution 1:
Since late 2012, it is usually under /usr/share/tomcat7
.
Prior to that, it was usually found under /opt/tomcat7
.
Solution 2:
Not sure if this would be helpful. I am using a similar Amazon Linux AMI, which has tomcat7 living under /usr/share/tomcat7.
If tomcat is already running on your machine you can try:
ps -ef | grep tomcat
or
ps -ef | grep java
to check where it's running from.
Solution 3:
- If you want to find the webapp folder, it may be over here:
/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/
- But you also can type this to find it:
find / -name 'tomcat_version' -type d
Solution 4:
Use "whereis" command.
$ whereis tomcat8
tomcat8: /usr/sbin/tomcat8 /etc/tomcat8 /usr/libexec/tomcat8 /usr/share/tomcat8
Solution 5:
As of October 3, 2012, a new "Elastic Beanstalk for Java with Apache Tomcat 7" Linux x64 AMI deployed with the Sample Application has the install here:
/etc/tomcat7/
The /etc/tomcat7/tomcat7.conf file has the following settings:
# Where your java installation lives
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jre"
# Where your tomcat installation lives
CATALINA_BASE="/usr/share/tomcat7"
CATALINA_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat7"
JASPER_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat7"
CATALINA_TMPDIR="/var/cache/tomcat7/temp"
