Bitnami Apache Tomcat Stack 8.0.20-0 ============================================ 1. OVERVIEW The Bitnami Project was created to help spread the adoption of freely available, high quality open source web applications. Bitnami aims to make it easier than ever to discover, download and install Open Source software such as document and content management systems, wikis and blogging software. You can learn more about Bitnami at https://bitnami.com The Bitnami Tomcat Stack is an installer that greatly simplifies the installation of Roller and runtime dependencies. It includes ready-to-run versions of Apache, Apache-Tomcat, MySQL and Java. It is distributed for free under the Apache 2.0 license. Please see the appendix for the specific licenses of all Open Source components included. You can learn more about Bitnami Stacks at https://bitnami.com/stacks/ 2. FEATURES - Easy to Install Bitnami Stacks are built with one goal in mind: to make it as easy as possible to install open source software. Our installers completely automate the process of installing and configuring all of the software included in each Stack, so you can have everything up and running in just a few clicks. - Independent Bitnami Stacks are completely self-contained, and therefore do not interfere with any software already installed on your system. For example, you can upgrade your system's MySQL or Apache Tomcat without fear of 'breaking' your Bitnami Stack. - Integrated By the time you click the 'finish' button on the installer, the whole stack will be integrated, configured and ready to go. - Relocatable Bitnami Stacks can be installed in any directory. This allows you to have multiple instances of the same stack, without them interfering with each other. 3. COMPONENTS Bitnami Apache Tomcat Stack ships with the following software versions: - Apache 2.4.12 - Apache Tomcat 8.0.20 - MySQL 5.5.42 - Apache Ant 1.8.1 - Ant-Contrib 1.0b3 - PHP 5.4.38 - PHPMyAdmin 4.3.8 On Linux and Windows there are two versions of the stack, with and without a bundled JDK 1.8.0_31. On OS X, it is required that you have Java 1.5 or later installed in your system. It can be downloaded from http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/java/ 4. REQUIREMENTS To install Bitnami Tomcat Stack you will need: - Intel x86 or compatible processor - Minimum of 512 MB RAM - Minimum of 400 MB hard drive space - TCP/IP protocol support - Compatible operanting systems: - An x86 Linux operating system. - A 32-bit Windows operating system such as Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Windows Server 2003. - An OS X operating system x86 with J2SE 5.0 or later. 5. INSTALLATION The Bitnami Apache Tomcat Stack is distributed as a binary executable installer. It can be downloaded from: https://bitnami.com/stacks/ The downloaded file will be named something similar to: bitnami-tomcatstack-8.0.20-0-linux-installer.run on Linux or bitnami-tomcatstack-8.0.20-0-linux-x64-installer.run on Linux 64 bit or bitnami-tomcatstack-8.0.20-0-windows-installer.exe on Windows or bitnami-tomcatstack-8.0.20-0-osx-x86-installer.dmg on OS X x86. On Linux, you will need to give it executable permissions: chmod 755 bitnami-tomcatstack-8.0.20-0-linux-installer.run on Linux To begin the installation process, invoke from a shell or double-click on the file you have downloaded, and you will be greeted by the 'Welcome' screen. By default the Tomcat Manager Web tools are enabled. Next you will be asked to choose the installation folder. If the destination directory does not exist, it will be created as part of the installation. The default listening port for Apache is 8080 and for MySQL is 3006. If those ports are already in use by other applications, you will be prompted for alternate ports to use. The next screen will ask you for a password. This password will be used to protect the MySQL root account. If you chose to enable the Tomcat Management tools a new screen will ask you for the username and password for accessing these web tools. If the installer has not been able to find a suitable JDK installation in your system, you will have to provide the location of a jdk1.5 or jdk1.6 installation in the next page. Once the installation process has been completed, you will see the 'Installation Finished' page. You can choose to launch Bitnami Apache Tomcat Stack at this point. If you do so, your default web browser will point you to the Bitnami local site. If you receive an error message during installation, please refer to the Troubleshooting section. The Apache server is connected to the Apache Tomcat server using the AJP connector. The rest of this guide assumes that you installed Bitnami Apache Tomcat Stack in /home/user/tomcatstack-8.0.20-0 on Linux or C:\Program Files\Bitnami Apache Tomcat Stack on Windows or /Applications/tomcatstack-8.0.20-0 on OS X and you use port 8080 for Apache Tomcat and 3306 for MySQL. 6. STARTING AND STOPPING BITNAMI TOMCAT STACK To start/stop/restart application on Linux or OS X you can use the included ctlscript.sh utility, as shown below: ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) apache ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) mysql ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) tomcat start - start the service(s) stop - stop the service(s) restart - restart or start the service(s) You can start and stop Bitnami Apache Tomcat Stack on Windows using the shortcuts created in the Start Menu, under Programs -> Bitnami -> Bitnami Service That will start Apache, Apache Tomcat and MySQL services. Once started, you can open your browser and access the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080 If you enabled the Tomcat Manager Web Application tool, you can access the following URL (you will be prompted to enter the user and password set during the installation): http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/html You can also access from the link 'Tomcat Manager' that appears in the left menu in the Tomcat page. If you selected an alternate port during installation, for example 18080, the URL will look like: http://127.0.0.1:18080 7. DIRECTORY STRUCTURE The installation process will create several subfolders under the main installation directory: apache2/: Apache server. apache-tomcat/: Apache Tomcat Web server. java/: Java SE Development Kit. mysql/: MySQL Database. apache-ant/: Apache Ant build tool apps/ phpMyAdmin/: Management tool for MySQL 8. DEFAULT USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS MySQL admin user is called 'root', and its password is also one you set at installation time. The default non-root account used to access the database is named bitnami, and its password is also bitnami. If you enabled the Tomcat Manager Web Application tool, the default username is "manager" and the password is the same that you set during the installation. 9. TROUBLESHOOTING This version of the Bitnami Apache Tomcat stack is a preview version, and as such, may contain a number of bugs and be a little bit rough around the edges. We are working on the next release, which will contain several improvements along with expanded documentation. In addition to the resources provided below, we encourage you to post your questions and suggestions at: https://community.bitnami.com/ We also encourage you to sign up for our newsletter, which we'll use to announce new releases and new stacks. To do so, just register at: https://bitnami.com/newsletter. 9.1 Installer # Installer Payload Error If you get the following error while trying to run the installer from the command line: "Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely due to an incomplete or corrupt downloaded file" The installer binary is not complete, likely because the file was not downloaded correctly. You will need to download the file and repeat the installation process. # Installer execution error on Linux If you get the following error while trying to run the installer: "Cannot open bitnami-tomcatstack-8.0.20-0-linux.run: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file." In some operatings systems you can change permissions with right click -> properties -> permissions -> execution enable. Or from the command line: $ chmod 755 bitnami-tomcatstack-8.0.20-0-linux.run # Customize application on Linux or on OS X If you want to reduce application delay, you can change ctlscript.sh by replacing this line: export JAVA_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xms256m -Xmx512m" with export JAVA_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xms512m -Xmx1024m" 9.2 Apache Tomcat If you find any problem starting Apache Tomcat, the first place you should look at is the error log file that will be created at roller-8.0.20-0/apache-tomcat/logs/catalina.out. There you will likely find useful information to determine what the problem is. For issues not covered in this Quick Start guide, please refer to the Bitnami forums and to the Apache Tomcat documentation, which is located at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/index.html. 9.3 MySQL If you encounter any problems starting MySQL, the first place to look in is the "Problems and Common Errors" section of the MySQL manual, which you will find at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ The following are some common problems: # Access denied when trying to connect to MySQL. If you get an Access Denied message while trying to connect to MySQL, make sure you are using the correct username and password. # "Can't connect to server" message. Make sure that the MySQL daemon is up and running. Remember also that if during installation you selected a different listening port for MySQL, you may need to pass that as an extra command line option. 10.
