20            ===================================================
21            Running The Apache Tomcat 6.0 Servlet/JSP Container
22            ===================================================
23
24Apache Tomcat 6.0 requires the Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime
25Environment (JRE) version 5.0 or later.
26
27=============================
28Running With JRE 5.0 Or Later
29=============================
30
31(1) Download and Install the J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE)
32
33(1.1) Download the Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE),
34      release version 5.0 or later, from http://java.sun.com/j2se.
35
36(1.2) Install the JRE according to the instructions included with the
37      release.
38(1.3) Set an environment variable named JRE_HOME to the pathname of
39      the directory into which you installed the JRE, e.g. c:\jre5.0
40      or /usr/local/java/jre5.0.
41
42NOTE: You may also use the full JDK rather than just the JRE. In this
43      case set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to the pathname of
44      the directory into which you installed the JDK, e.g. c:\j2sdk5.0
45      or /usr/local/java/j2sdk5.0.
46
47
48(2) Download and Install the Tomcat Binary Distribution
49
50NOTE:  As an alternative to downloading a binary distribution, you can create
51your own from the Tomcat source repository, as described in "BUILDING.txt".
52If you do this, the value to use for "${catalina.home}" will be the "dist"
53subdirectory of your source distribution.
54
55(2.1) Download a binary distribution of Tomcat from:
56
57      http://tomcat.apache.org
58
59(2.2) Unpack the binary distribution into a convenient location so that the
60      distribution resides in its own directory (conventionally named
61      "apache-tomcat-[version]").  For the purposes of the remainder of this document,
62      the symbolic name "$CATALINA_HOME" is used to refer to the full
63      pathname of the release directory.
64
65
66(3) Start Up Tomcat
67
68(3.1) Tomcat can be started by executing the following commands:
69
70      $CATALINA_HOME\bin\startup.bat          (Windows)
71
72      $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh           (Unix)
73
74(3.2) After startup, the default web applications included with Tomcat will be
75      available by visiting:
76
77      http://localhost:8080/
78
79(3.3) Further information about configuring and running Tomcat can be found in
80      the documentation included here, as well as on the Tomcat web site:
81
82      http://tomcat.apache.org
83
84
85(4) Shut Down Tomcat
86
87(4.1) Tomcat can be shut down by executing the following command:
88
89      $CATALINA_HOME\bin\shutdown            (Windows)
90
91      $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh         (Unix)
92

94==================================================
95Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances
96==================================================
97
98In many circumstances, it is desirable to have a single copy of a Tomcat
99binary distribution shared among multiple users on the same server.  To make
100this possible, you can pass a "-Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE" argument when
101executing the startup command (see (2)). In this
102"-Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE" argument, replace $CATALINA_BASE with the
103directory that contains the files for your 'personal' Tomcat instance.
104
105When you use this "-Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE" argument, Tomcat will
106calculate all relative references for files in the following directories based
107on the value of $CATALINA_BASE instead of $CATALINA_HOME:
108
109* bin  - Only setenv.sh (*nix) and setenv.bat (windows)
110
111* conf - Server configuration files (including server.xml)
112
113* logs - Log and output files
114
115* webapps - Automatically loaded web applications
116
117* work - Temporary working directories for web applications
118
119* temp - Directory used by the JVM for temporary files (java.io.tmpdir)
120
121If you do not pass the "-Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE" argument to the
122startup command, $CATALINA_BASE will default to the same value as $CATALINA_HOME,
123 which means that the same directory is used for all relative path resolutions.
124
125
126================
127Troubleshooting
128================
129
130There are only really 3 things likely to go wrong during the stand-alone
131Tomcat install:
132
133(1) The most common hiccup is when another web server (or any process for that
134    matter) has laid claim to port 8080.  This is the default HTTP port that
135    Tomcat attempts to bind to at startup.  To change this, open the file:
136
137       $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml
138
139    and search for '8080'.  Change it to a port that isn't in use, and is
140    greater than 1024, as ports less than or equal to 1024 require superuser
141    access to bind under UNIX.
142
143   Restart Tomcat and you're in business.  Be sure that you replace the "8080"
144   in the URL you're using to access Tomcat.  For example, if you change the
145   port to 1977, you would request the URL http://localhost:1977/ in your browser.
146
147(2) An "out of environment space" error when running the batch files in
148    Windows 95, 98, or ME operating systems.
149
150    Right-click on the STARTUP.BAT and SHUTDOWN.BAT files.  Click on
151    "Properties", then on the "Memory" tab.  For the "Initial environment" field,
152    enter in something like 4096.
153
154    After you click apply, Windows will create shortcuts which you can use
155    to start and stop the container.
156
157(3) The 'localhost' machine isn't found.  This could happen if you're behind a
158    proxy.  If that's the case, make sure the proxy configuration for your
159    browser knows that you shouldn't be going through the proxy to access the
160    "localhost".
161
162    In Netscape, this is under Edit/Preferences -> Advanced/Proxies, and in
163    Internet Explorer, Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings.
