How to install Apache Tomcat server on Ubuntu 11.04

Hi, Today I'm going to tell you how to install Apache tomcat server on your Ubuntu (Linux) computer. You can install and use it as a portable installation on your pen drive too.Apache tomcat server is used to run .jsp file (Java Server Pages). So first you need to download Apache Tomcat 7.0 from Apache site.

DOWNLOAD Apache tomcat here!..

Ok let's do it. Now extract the downloaded apache-tomcat-7.0.19.tar.gz file into desktop or to your pen drive.

Then rename it as tomcat (only for our convenience)

Open Terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T)

Then go to this folder using this command : cd Desktop/tomcat/bin ( assuming you extracted on your Desktop )

Then run this command(run startup.sh shell script) : ./startup.sh

Now open firefox go to this URL : http://localhost:8080/ . Then you should see it like this!



Now try a jsp script to test the installation.


If you want to, copy this code and save it into tomcat-->webapps-->ROOT as hello.jsp  Then run it http://localhost:8080/hello.jsp  :D

<html>
<head>
<title>JSP Test page.</title>
</head>
<body>
<p align="center"><font color="#009900" size="7"><%="gihansblog.com"%></font></p>
<p align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="6"><%="Hello JSP World!"%> </font></p>
<p><%= new java.util.Date()%></p>
</body>
</html>

To shut-down the Tomcat server use this command(run shutdown.sh shell script) : ./shutdown.sh


Thanks

Gihan

    Studying from earlier problems might be one of the better guidelines for bloggers who normally omit writing a blog if achievement just isn't featuring up promptly. On the other hand search engines like google prizes endurance and just by possessing persistence and by incorporating far more associated subject material to a website, you can currently pass many webmasters within your area of interest who do not have persistence.

    That means first you need to set your JAVA_HOME variables. So try this on terminal window

    sudo /etc/bash.bashrc

    JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java (I assume this should be your java directory)
    export JAVA_HOME
    PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
    export PATH

    source /etc/bash.bashrc
    source ~/.bashrc

    echo $JAVA_HOME (this will show you the path you set up)
    echo $PATH

Switching to a third party Domain Name System (DNS)?

Image
Hi everyone, today we will discuss on Domain Name Systems and usage of them. First lets see what is DNS? DNS stands for Domain Name System. And DNS is actually a database system that handle IP addresses and related domain names. When we type a web address and hit the Enter key, the ISP(Internet Service Provider) will look up the DNS for requested domain name. Then the DNS will return and direct to the correct IP address. Then we will see the requested web page. :-) Usually your Internet Service Provider maintains a DNS server for handle the DNS quires, so you don't have to worry about that. It hold a list of all the IP addresses and domain names within the network, and a cache of IP addresses which recently accessed computers outside the network.  This DNS servers are also responsible for your Internet speed. But sometimes you may realise your Internet speed is not enough. Most of the time this happens not because of your bandwidth but because of your ISP's slow DNS server. Bec...

Hi, today I'm going to Blog about a very simple shell script, that may help you guys a lot.NO big deal, its very simple one. It was very helpful to me, once I had to rename a large number of images of Kim Kardashian.  So then I realise it will very easy doing it with a Shell script rather than manually rename it. #!/bin/bash # # Author: Gihan De Silva @  gihansblog.com # rename script # rename.sh clear x=0 for i in `ls *.jpg` do x=`expr $x + 1` mv $i Kim_Kardashian$x.jpg done echo "rename done!" Code Explanation! #!/bin/bash  This is how always a shell script starts. clear This line clears all the things already in the terminal window. x=0 This line define and declare a variable. for i in `ls *.jpg` This line starts a loop and, it will list down all the JPEG(jpg) type images. x=`expr $x + 1` This line increases the value of x by 1 . mv $i Kim_Kardashian$x.jpg This line renames all the files according to a sequence like, Kim_Kardashian1.jpg , Kim_Kardashian2.jpg, Kim_Kard...
