Tomcat 6 on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

Installation

With Synaptic: 

tomcat6
tomcat6-user

Tutorial

Several instances of Tomcat6 can run at the same time.

Create instance

tomcat6-instance-create test_instance

Use instance

  • Put your webapp in test_instance/webapps
  • Start your instance:
test_instance/bin/startup.sh
test_instance/bin/shutdown.sh

To run your instance in interactive mode (so you don't have to open the log file every time), create test_instance/bin/run.sh: 

#!/bin/sh
export CATALINA_BASE=/home/jerome/test_instance
/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/catalina.sh run

Don't forget to change CATALINA_BASE to match your configuration.

Shared elements

With Tomcat 6, the shared folder has been removed from Tomcat directory. If you used to have a shared/classes directory, you can recreate it under your test_instance, and in test_instance/conf/catalina.properties: 

shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar
