I don't think your question is a dumb question but, in fact, it is not a
single question! I do think you are doing a mega-mix!

People run a lot of different combination of OS, application server, web
server and databases. Our production servers run older versions than your,
but I do think our installation could be an example. Here you have some
links that were usefull for me more than two years ago...

http://atriumkm.idisantiago.es/bin/ICT/InstallingTomcat

I think I remember last two comments dated on 2014/08/04 09:22 and 2014/11/29
08:56 were the ones leading us to the configuration of our current Tomcat
installation running two XWiki instances: a plain old XWiki Enterprise
2.4.30451 and a newer XWiki Enterprise 7.3 one.

I'm now solving several issues with a brand new XWiki 9.2.2 on Tomcat
9.0.0.M17 and MySQL; in this case on a Mac OS X box.

That's why I'm really interested in understanding your issue!

Please, don't forget to read more than ten times the XWiki pages related
with the installation on the container you have choosen and make comments
and send question about their contents!

Thanks.   Sorry to continue with the dumb questions, but that said,:
- I see that I don't have the ability to run Tomcat as myself, having installed 
it as root and not changed any permissions.I spose that most people create 
a new, local, user "xwiki" or "tomcat_user", and install and run the software 
as that user?
- Do most people run Tomcat or something else?
- Do most people install Xwiki from WAR or using the standalone?

Thinkin I should start over ..

It's indeed possible Tomcat require root to use port 80. At least on Linux. 
Usually what most people do is put Apache on Nginx in front of Tomcat on port 
80 and keep Tomcat on port 8080.

It's indeed possible Tomcat require root to use port 80. At least on
Linux. Usually what most people do is put Apache on Nginx in front of
Tomcat on port 80 and keep Tomcat on port 8080.

Thanks!

- In fact I installed Tomcat and xwiki as root.  I guess someone else should 
own the files?
- I would like to run tomcat/xwiki on port 80.  Do I need to run as root to do 
that?  Do I need to set up some privsep user such that it starts as root and 
then SU's to a lesser user, like ssh does?

Thx again.

Thanks.  I changed it back to 8005.  But when I start up it is still not 
listening on 8005, and so the shutdown script does not work.  What have I 
overlooked/do I have to do to enable port 8005 shutdown?

Thanks
Doug

Re: [xwiki-users] Stopping Xwiki-8.4.3/Tomcat-9.0 and integrating with systemctl

[rez_spb]

Hello,

Port in  property is a Tomcat system port used for shutdown, it
should not be confused with a port Tomcat service connector listens on
(client connection port like 80, 8080, 443 etc). So changing it to 8080 is
not what you should've done, I think.

Two instances are most likely due to first failed attempt to stop Tomcat,
after which you've started it again. I have seen the similar issue.

What you'd probably want to do is to killall java, then change port back to
8005, start Tomcat and wait till it's up and running, check that it listens
on port 8005 and it is the correct Tomcat (in case you have several of them
you should use other port, but not 8080 as it is used for client
connections).
My example with 2 tomcats running:


After this you'd probably want to (manually) send a signal (default is
sending 'SHUTDOWN') to this port and wait for what happens. I bet
catalina.out log will have some info on whether the shutdown was successful.

One more tip: you actually shouldn't run Tomcat as root, this could get
messy pretty fast.

Okay.  I found the line with port 8005 in server.xml:
./conf/server.xml:

... and changed it to 8080.   However, altho $CTALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh now 
runs, it doesn't seem to shut it down.  Furthermore there are two of them 
running. PIDs 1597 and 1598.  Is that correct?TIA.

Hi All,

Sorry for the dumb question.  I've installed CentOS-7.2, Java-1.8, MySQL 5.7, 
Tomcat 9.0.0, XWiki 8.4.3.  I've built jsvc and have created a startup script,
