Installing Java 1.6 on Linux–Using WINSCP involves the following steps:
Step-1
Installing Java:
* Download jdk version–1.6x for Linux from Sun website
* Download the non-rpm version.
* Use WINSCP and connect to the server.
* Go to usr dir
* Right click and create a new directory–java
* Give all the read/write permission to the directory
* Move the download jdk from your local system to the java directory
Open putty connection to the server
#cd usr
Execute the command using putty:./jre-1.bin
/* optional
# mkdir -p /usr/local/java
# cd /usr/local/java
# mv /path/to/jdk-1_6_0_20-linux-x64.bin
# chmod u+x jdk-1_6_0_20-linux-x64.bin
# ./jdk-1_6_0_20-linux-x64.bin
*/
Step-2
* Set JAVA_HOME and PATH
* Set JAVA_HOME to the dir of java
* PATH to bin dir of JAVA_HOME
* Use–Putty to execute the below
* # export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10
* # export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
Check if we have installed it:
# which java
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10/bin/java
# java -version
java version “1.6.0_10”
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
Installing Tomcat 6.0 on Linux–Using WINSCP involves the following steps:
Step-1
Download tomcat — Binary Core Distribution file –6.x to you local machine
* Rename the file as tomcat 6
* Use WINSCP and move to server /var/lib folder
* Create a new folder name as–tomcat6
* Give read write access permission to the folder
* Right click on the tomcat6.tar.gz and say extract
* In the dialogue box give tomcat 6
Step-2
Set CATALINA_HOME AND CATALINA_BASE
* # export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_20
* # export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
* # export CATALINA_HOME=/var/lib/tomcat6
* # export CATALINA_BASE=/var/lib/tomcat6
* # export JRE_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_20
Step-3
Create a manager role with user name and password to deploy the application
* Use WINSCP to navigate to the folder-var/lib/tomcat6/conf
* Open tomcat-users.xml
* Copy that file to local machine and give the access.
start tomcat: #cd CATALINA_HOME/bin
#./startup.sh
shutdown tomcat:#cd CATALINA_HOME/bin
#./shutdown.sh
Test: www.myserver.com:8080/
The above url should give a tomcat default page.
www.myserver.com:8080/manager/html should prompt for a user name and password.
