Hi guys,
Saw many mails about configuring tomcat lately.
I have installed tomcat in my redhat 6.2 linux box and
everything works fine.Iam attaching the procedure i
followed while installing it.It is just an extract of
steps from the doc's that comes with the tomcat
utilities.If u need detailed explanations about the
steps please look at the docs.
U can feel free to hate - mail me if there is anything
wrong with the doc .
bye & good luck

Tomcat configuration In Linux : How To
1) First, you must have the jakarta-ant workspace
checked out parallel to this workspace
(jakarta-tomcat). Without jakarta-ant, you won't
be able to build. When you have completed your
downloads and checkouts,you should have the following
directory structure:
$JAKARTA_HOME/
jakarta-ant/ <-- Contains jakarta-ant files
jakarta-tomcat/ <-- Contains jakarta-tomcat files
2) Configuring Ant :
(i ) add tools.jar from your JDK distribution
to your classpath;
export CLASSPATH=JDK_HOME/lib/tools.jar
(ii ) cd into jakarta-ant directory
(iii) run ./bootstrap.sh
(iv) run ./build.sh
(v) Assume Ant is installed in
/usr/local/ant. The following sets up the
environment:
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk-1.2.2
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin
(vi) The classpath for Ant must contain
ant.jar and xml.jar
3) configuring tomcat :
(i) cd into jakarta-tomcat directory
(ii) run ./build.sh
(iii) Add this line to the end of your
httpd.conf file
Include
JAKARTA_HOME/build/tomcat/conf/tomcat-apache.conf
(iv) cd into JAKARTA_HOME/build/tomcat/bin/
(v) run ./startup.sh
(vi) start ur apache web server
(vii)The examples should work now. try
http://localhost:8080/examples
4) Adding ur own sevlets and jsp codes
(i) cd into JAKARTA_HOME/build/tomcat/webapps/
(ii) create any directory.
(for ex) mkdir myProject.
(ii) cd into JAKARTA_HOME/build/tomcat/conf/
(iv) edit server.xml and add this 2 lines
<Context path="/myProject" docBase="webapps/myProject"
debug="0" reloadable="true" >
</Context>
(v) add ur servlets or jsp files to this
directory
(vi) set the classpath to where your compiled
classes are.
(vii) shutdown apache.
(viii) restart tomcat
(ix) start apache
Now u should be able to run ur servlets without any
problem.
