IP : Installing Tomcat Server in Linux

I am showing the procedure using Ubuntu. And don't worry, installation procedure won't change for different Linux distributions. I am just mentioning that I am using Ubuntu.

Installing Tomcat Server :

Follow these steps with some slight modifications that I am mentioning:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-on-ubuntu-12-04

First of all, Mam was telling that there are some problems in installing tomcat using apt-get command, I suppose some packages will be missed. Not sure. So, I downloaded the tar file from the url :

http://apache.mivzakim.net/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.64/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.64.tar.gz

the link keeps changing, so if you get 404 File Not Found, go to http://apache.mivzakim.net/tomcat/

and try downloading newer versions.

Now, follow the steps in the Digital Ocean website from the "untar file" step using "tar" command. And where ever they say "~/path/to/tomcat" use "/opt/tomcat"

After following all the steps, you should have all the files of tomcat in your /opt folder.
