Sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/common common Sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/tomcat7/conf Sudo ln -s /etc/tomcat7/policy.d/03catalina.policy conf/catalina.policy whereis tomcat7Īnd before you add a server in Eclipse ensure to run the following commands, the tomcat server in eclipse expects to have these files and folders in their respective locations for working correctly.

#Apache tomcat 7 install install#

Make sure you install tomcat7-admin too using sudo apt-get install tomcat7-admin Use sudo apt-get install tomcat7 to install Tomcat7. Note: Working perfect for me with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS & Eclipse Luna. Note: common, server and shared classes could be links too, but I wanted to keep the two separate. Now within Eclipse you can create a Tomcat v7.0 server and set the installation directory as ~/mytomcat. Ln -s /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar bin/tomcat-juli.jar Ln -s /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar bin/bootstrap.jar Ln -s /etc/tomcat7/policy.d/03catalina.policy conf/catalina.policy Now use the following to make Eclipse happy: cd mytomcat

'mytomcat' can be anything you like, but it will create a directory by this name in your home. Note: -p sets the port number (default is 8080) and -c is the control port (default 8005), we set these so we don't compete with the main installation of tomcat running as a service. Install private instance support: sudo apt-get install tomcat7-userĬreate local instance in your home folder: tomcat7-instance-create -p 10080 -c 10005 mytomcat Install tomcat as per normal: sudo apt-get install tomcat7 Here's the way I did it, it keeps the system tomcat and your own personal tomcat instance separate.
