  • For convenience, install shell profile scripts in /etc/profile.d that define JAVA_HOME, e.g. java.csh:
    No Format
    setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/java/default
if ( "${path}" !~ *${JAVA_HOME}/bin* ) then
    set path = ( ${JAVA_HOME}/bin $path )
endif
    java.sh:
    No Format
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default
if ! echo $PATH | grep -q ${JAVA_HOME}/bin ; then
    export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH

Install Tomcat

  • Download current Tomcat 6.0 binary distribution (tested with 6.0.20, available in /mit/touchstone/downloads/apache-tomcat-6.0.20.tar.gz, and install under /usr/local:
    No Format
    
# cd /usr/local
# tar xzf /path/to/apache-tomcat-6.0.20.tar.gz
# rm -f tomcat
# ln -s apache-tomcat-6.0.20.tar.gz tomcat
  • Create the tomcat user, and change the ownership of the tomcat tree:
    No Format
    
# groupadd -g 52 tomcat
# useradd -u 52 -g tomcat -c "Tomcat User" -d /usr/local/tomcat -M -s /sbin/nologin tomcat
# chown -R tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.20
  • Install our version of conf/server.xml (from /mit/touchstone/config/idp2-core/tomcat), which properly configures the AJP connector on port 8009, and disables the HTTP connector on port 8080.
  • Install the tomcat init script in /etc/init.d/, and make sure tomcat is started at boot time:
    No Format
    
# chkconfig --add tomcat
