Hi,
As per my understanding, the steps to deploy a Java application on Tomcat (5.X/6.X) in Linux would be as follows: 1) Install Tomcat on Linux 2) Add a host entry in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf with the syntax like- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Host name="xxx.co.in" debug="0" appBase="/opt/setuponm/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/sterlite/reportstool" unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="false"> <Alias>reports.fion.co.in</Alias> <Context path="" docBase="/opt/setuponm/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/sterlite/reportstool" debug="0" reloadable="false" crossContext="false" /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above code would assign the host name to access the URL, gives the location of the web application pointed out by appBase & context path. 3) Start Tomcat. Please let me know if the steps above are correct and also please let me know in detail if the steps are not correct. -- *STL Disclaimer:* The content of this message may be legally privileged and confidential and are for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.
