Tomcat Setup in server

We first need to install Java, which is a required dependency.

The version of Java to install depends on our specific requirements.

I have chosen Java 17 based on my requirements.

yum install java-17-amazon-corretto.x86_64

To download Tomcat 10, use the following command

wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-10/v10.1.7/bin/apache-tomcat-10.1.7.tar.gz

Unzip it

tar xvf apache-tomcat-10.1.7.tar.gz

vim /apache-tomcat-10.1.7/webapps/manager/META-INF

Above command will open the file in the Vim editor for editing.

After removing lines 19 and 20, the file will look like the following.

~
~
<Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" >
  <CookieProcessor className="org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Rfc6265CookieProcessor"
                   sameSiteCookies="strict" />
  <valve sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter="java\.lang\.(?:Boolean|Integer|Long|Number|String)|org\.apache\.catalina\.filters\.CsrfPreventionFilter\$LruCache(?:\$1)?|java\.util\.(?:Linked)?HashMap"/>
</Context>
~                                                                                                                                                                           
~

Now open /apache-tomcat-10.1.7/conf/tomcat-users.xml file in any editor and add below Roles,Username and password.

 <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <role rolename="manager-script"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="12345" roles="manager-gui, manager-script"/>

We can start the Tomcat server by executing 'startup.sh' in the '/apache-tomcat-10.1.7/bin' directory.

cd /apache-tomcat-10.1.7/bin
./startup.sh

We have successfully set up the Tomcat server and it is now ready to use.
