ProcedureExample: Installing the Apache Tomcat Software on Shared Storage

These steps illustrate how to install the Apache Tomcat software in the directory /tomcat. As long as only one node is mentioned it needs to be the node where your resource group is online.

  1. Log in to the zone.


    phys-schost-1# zlogin clu1
    
  2. Add the tomcat group and user.


    zone# groupadd -g 1000 tomcat
    zone# useradd -g 1000 -d /tomcat -m -s /bin/ksh tomcat
    
  3. Install the Apache Tomcat binaries.


    zone# su - tomcat
    zone# gzcat apache-tomcat-5.5.17.tar.gz|tar xvf -
    zone# gzcat apache-tomcat-5.5.17-compat.tar.gz|tar xvf -
    
  4. Create your environment script /tomcat/env.kshwith the following contents.


    zone# cat env.ksh 
    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    JAVA_HOMME=/usr/j2se
    CATALINA_HOME=/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.17
    export JAVA_HOME CATALINA_HOME
  5. Copy the Apache Tomcat configuration file from the agent directory to its deployment location.


    zone# cp /opt/SUNWsctomcat/bin/pfile /tomcat
    zone# chown tomcat:tomcat /tomcat/pfile
    
  6. Add this cluster's information to the parameter file /tomcat/pfile.

    The following listing shows the relevant file entries and the values to assign to each entry.

    Port=8080
    TestCmd="get /index.jsp"
    ReturnString="CATALINA"
