How to setup tomcat on fedora?
I am new to linux I want to setup tomcat 6 on fedora 64 bit. i some how managed to install tomcat by using following command
yum install tomcat6 tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-admin-webapps
but i don't at which directory tomcat installed. also i want to know how i can configure JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables.
Solution 1:
On Fedora 13 a CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not explicitly defined following a Tomcat 6 install. It is essentially equal to /usr/share/tomcat6/ though. This threw me off when reading Tomcat 6 guides that routinely refer to a CATALINA_HOME. You could add one to your ~/.bash_profile if it helps.
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat6/
export CATALINA_HOME
You will have to log out and back in for this to take effect.
Solution 2:
JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME should have been set up as part of the tomcat yum install.
You should find that:
- starting and stopping can be done through the service command (eg, type "service tomcat6 start" in the terminal to start tomcat)
- config is located at: /etc/tomcat6

Solution 3:
sudo find / -name "apache-tomcat*"
you might or might not need sudo.
You can just download the zip and put it wherever you want, you know...
