Included in the Magnolia bundle, Apache Tomcat application server
provides an environment where the Magnolia application is executed.
To install Tomcat:
Go to Apache Tomcat
and download Tomcat.
We recommend you use the latest version of Tomcat 9 and a supported Java version. See
Certified stack too.
Extract the ZIP file in the directory where you want to install
Tomcat. These instructions assume you chose
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation and installed Tomcat
version 9.0.8. The subdirectory apache-tomcat-9.0.8 is created from the
archive.
To verify installation:
Open Command Prompt.
Go to the Tomcat installation directory. cd C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-9.0.8
Start Tomcat. bin\startup.bat
A second command prompt window is displayed for Tomcat. The following
lines appear when the server has started:
org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol start
INFO: Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080
org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket init
INFO: JK: ajp13 listening on /0.0.0.0:8009
org.apache.jk.server.JkMain start
INFO: Jk running ID=0 time=0/66 config=null
org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 2238 msCopy
Open a browser and go to http://localhost:8080. The message ``If
you’re seeing this page via web browser, it means you’ve setup Tomcat
successfully.'' indicates success.
Type bin\shutdown.bat in the first command prompt window to stop
Tomcat.
