I'm having trouble installing Tomcat on my windows XP machine. I already have Apache and JDK 6 installed, what I need to know is:
Which file to download from the Lastest Tomcat download page
And how to install it so I can run the sample web app by going to http://localhost/
In my C:\Program Files\Java folder, I see the following folders, this should give you an idea of whether I need any additional stuff installed:
jdk1.6.0_10
jre1.6.0_04
jre1.6.0_06
jre1.6.0_07
jre6
Thanks.
Tomcat 6 doesn't really need the full JDK and it runs with Java 1.5 as well, so Java wise you should be well off. Just make sure that JAVA_HOME environment variable is set.
You can either get the core zip or tar.gz file, or the Windows Service installer file.
Core zip file:
http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.18/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.18.zip
Just unzip it and run bin/startup.bat. If you'd like to install it as a Windows service (and get the "usual" program entry in Windows add/remove programs) you can get the Windows Service Installer file instead:
http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.18/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.18.exe
By default tomcat listens to port 8080, so to check out the sample apps you need to go to http://localhost:8080/examples/. You can change the default port by editing server.xml in the conf directory.
I'm not sure what that URL is that you provided ("CGI" seems strange from a J2EE site), but the download links for tomcat are on its home page: http://tomcat.apache.org/
You should probably download version 6, particularly if you're using it for personal development. The older versions are available and maintained primarily to support users who don't want to migrate J2EE versions.
Finally: unless you are already using Apache, don't bother with it. Most commercial sites use Apache as a front-end because of its configurability (particularly URL rewriting). If you're just looking to develop web apps, Tomcat will act as web server in addition to servlet/JSP container.
Installation instructions (as well as all other instructions) are here:http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/index.html
If you haven't done any J2EE development before, you'll need some docs on it. The Sun Tutorial is OK, but targeted to the Sun app-server and covers a lot of XML that isn't really necessary. Look at the intro chapters on web apps, then jump to chapter 11: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/index.html
From the download page you should download the "Windows Service Installer" package.
As for the rest of the install process, follow just "Step 3: install Tomcat" described in the following page:
http://mircwiki.rsna.org/index.php?title=New_Installation_Instructions
Not a complete answer, but an add-on (how does Stack Overflow handle this?):
For a Windows (XP, Vista, 7) install, you can choose (from the options listed at http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi):
.zip (pick according to your Windows version)
Windows Service Installer
Now the difference between the top two options:
.zip -- This is a manual install, where you extract the .zip and move it into whatever folder you wish. It does not install Tomcat as a service. It does not "do" anything unless you manually do something with it or have another program use it. It is a manual setup.
Windows Service Installer -- This is a self-installer, just run the .exe. It installs Tomcat as a Windows Service, which if you load up your Windows services (run "services.msc"), you'll see it listed as "Apache Tomcat 6.0 Tomcat6". During the install it will ask you certain setup questions like.
If you choose "Windows Service Installer", here are the default settings the install will ask you:
Type of install: Normal
Server Shutdown Port: 8005
HTTP/1.1 Connector Port: 8080
AJP/1.3 Connector Port: 8009
Windows Service Name: Tomcat6
Create shortcuts for all users: disabled (not that this matters if it's your machine)
Tomcat Administration Login - User Name: blank
Tomcat Administration Login - Password: blank
Tomcat Administration Login - Roles: manager-gui
Path of a Java SE 5.0 or later JRE installed on your system: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 (if you are running Java SE 7)
Destination (install) folder: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0
Hope this helps.

I am new to Intellij ide and i'm having issues running Glassfish 5 or any previous version on Intellij 2017 2.4.
After selecting New Project > Java Enterprise > Web Application i had to specify the application server, to which i selected the folder of glassfish 5, jdk is set to 1.8 and java ee to 7. So far so good, no errors and the project gets created. Then i have a greyed "play" icon next to GlassFish 5.0.0 in the upper right of the corner that says that i have to configure it, i click Edit Configurations and the Run/Debug Configurations opens up
Everything seems fine and when i click the "play" green button to start the server and run the project i have projectName:war exploded under Deployment and

Under output. Coming from Netbeans setting glassfish up was pretty straightforward, i've checked a couple of solutions online including this but they don't seem to work for me.
I was having the same problem and I found that it is caused by an issue with the JDK software. So the NullPointerException thrown at AsadminMain.java:57 can be solved by checking your system variables (PATH, JAVA_HOME). Be sure that they reference to an acceptable JDK supported by your GlassFish version. GlassFish 5.0 is certified to work with java sdk 8u144 as mentioned HERE: https://javaee.github.io/glassfish/doc/5.0/release-notes.pdf.
Be aware, the path may also contain a reference to an old SDK directory.
If you need more help, please post the results of calling echo %PATH% on your cmd.
In my case JDK 1.8.0_152 must be installed, path and java_home variables have to be configured AND JDK 9.X must be uninstalled. Without uninstall, the error persist.
Uninstall Java 9, stay with the version 8 update 162 and the jdk8. When you unistall the Java 9 your system variables (PATH, JAVA_HOME=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath) will update the 3 jar (java, javaw, javaws) in this path to Java version 8.
war exploded: Waiting for server connection to start artifact deployment...
Detected server admin port: 4848
Detected server http port: 8080
....
Assuming that you are certain that JDK has set well in your environment variables and you are using jdk 8 or lower-Well I read somewhere that java9 has issues with such configurations, maybe the issue has been solve but for my case I chose to avoid for now.
Download and extract GlassFish of your version. For my case I'm
using GlassFish 5.181.O on Intellij 2018.1 ultimate version
Start Intellij, and before opening any project, or rather close all projects that are open.
Click on configure, then settings. A new window will appear as shown below. I have marked the steps you need to follow in the image. I will also add some explanation here.
Under Application Servers, click on the + shown as step 2 on the image, here you need to specify you glassfish server, the folder where you extracted to.
Next, click on + shown in step 3 on the image to add the server modules.
Assuming all is a success upto this point, select all choices of as shown in step 4 on the image, apply changes and Ok.
I will explain about creating a new project because I'm not sure how you would handle an existing project but I guess you can use concepts here to figure out what you need to tweak.Create your new java ee or whatever application you are working on,
As shown on figure 2, assuming you are creating a Java EE app, Click on Java Enterprise, then check/tick Web Application and JSF
Under libraries, use library from Glassfish ... Installation didn't help much because I got null pointer exceptions., so I used Download as shown in figure 2. Click next and finish.
Automatically you will see GlassFish added to the project, run it from the IDE.
Edit
If you had done all of the above and still get some error like Null Pointer Exceptions. Do what #Jailson Evora says: Clear your systems from java 9 and install java 8 and make sure when you issue java -version on command line, the output is java 8
I had to uninstall both jdk9 and jdk10 and set my java_home back to jdk8_181
I have installed JDK and Tomcat 8 on the server. Now I need to install ORDS and connect it to Tomcat. I went through various documentation and downloaded ORDS on the server. Now I have a couple of questions as all this stuff is new to me and documentation is not very clear most of the time.
There is java.exe in the directory to which I installed JDK and there is java.exe in the directory where all the ORDS files are unzipped. Does it matter which one I use to run the installation?
java -jar ords.war standalone --port 8090
Now my second question is do I run standalone ORDS installation and specify port 8090 and then copy ords.war file into Tomcat diirectory Tomcat/webapp and make sure Tomcat is running and it will install ords on its own? That's where I am confused...
My third question is how do I check if ORDS has been installed correctly? Would going to http://localhost:8090/ords suffice?
P.S. Oracle database installed on another server, I have all the passwords, hostname, port, and service name. APEX is also installed on another server.
Appex is the old name for ORDS. After the ORDS version 3.x you don't need to install apex.
ORDS 3.0 is able to deploy WITHOUT Application Express. It has its own database schema now.
Answers for your questions:
It doesn't matter. But make sure it is java 7+. You can instead install java globally and just run: java -jar ords.war command. You can follow this tutorial to install java on your machine: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/install_overview.html
When you run java -jar ords.war command then at this stage it starts installation of ORDS on your system. Before installation it asks for the oracle server hostname, oracle port, SID, and sysdba username and password to connect. Once you provide all the details and the type of installation you want, then it starts installation to the specific database server. Your tomcat/WLS/glassfish server will act as a rest endpoint between the database server and the clients.
Once installed ORDS on your database, if you right click on your connection in SQL Developer then you can see the Rest Service options. And yes the other way is like you mentioned: http:<host-name>:<port-name>/<schema-alias>/<object-alias>/ and see the result.
If you want to know the detail architecture, I would suggest to follow this oracle document: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/rest-data-services/overview/index.html
I have recently installed the ORDS in production environment successfully. Actually there are two ways you can install ORDS:
Standalone mode:
Using sql developer you can easily configure the standalone mode: http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2015/04/deploying-oracle-rest-data-services-from-oracle-sql-developer/
But if you would like to use the terminal you can use the following steps:
https://oracle-base.com/articles/misc/oracle-rest-data-services-ords-standalone-mode
Advanced mode:
https://oracle-base.com/articles/misc/oracle-rest-data-services-ords-3-installation-on-tomcat-7.
In the advanced mode ORDS supports Tomcat, WebLogic, and Glassfish application servers
When to use which:
Use Advanced Mode for production
Use Standalone Mode for Development and Testing. You can use Advanced Mode for development and testing but since the standalone mode is quite easy for installation, it is recommended one.

Note: If your database is PDB you could have some problem installing it and there are some tricks to solve it depending on the problem. Please let me know I would love to answer.
I had completely uninstalled tomcat7 from my Ubuntu15.04. Even after uninstalling when i go to http://localhost:8080/
Below thing is being displayed
It works !
If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!
This is the default Tomcat home page. It can be found on the local filesystem at: /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT/index.html
Tomcat7 veterans might be pleased to learn that this system instance of Tomcat is installed with CATALINA_HOME in /usr/share/tomcat7 and CATALINA_BASE in /var/lib/tomcat7, following the rules from /usr/share/doc/tomcat7-common/RUNNING.txt.gz.
You might consider installing the following packages, if you haven't already done so:
tomcat7-docs: This package installs a web application that allows to browse the Tomcat 7 documentation locally. Once installed, you can access it by clicking here.
tomcat7-examples: This package installs a web application that allows to access the Tomcat 7 Servlet and JSP examples. Once installed, you can access it by clicking here.
tomcat7-admin: This package installs two web applications that can help managing this Tomcat instance. Once installed, you can access the manager webapp and the host-manager webapp.
NOTE: For security reasons, using the manager webapp is restricted to users with role "manager-gui". The host-manager webapp is restricted to users with role "admin-gui". Users are defined in /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml.
I had also installed my tomcat8. How to go to tomcat8 page in browser?
try to use a different port number. Maybe tomcat 8 was installed with a different port
Either process is running or the page is cached on your browser. If tomcat is running there will be a running java process. Try ps -ef |grep java to list the running java processes.
I have two jdks and jres installed in my pc java 1.5 and java 1.8 for some work purpose. Now I have one instance of tomcat 5.5 which I took from another pc and pasted it in my pc c:/servers folder. It is running fine using java 1.5. So I set the JAVA_HOME and path to java 1.5. Now I downloaded tomcat 7 binary distribution zip file and extracted it in my c:/servers directory. I changed the connector port, shutdown port and AJP port to different values. set CATALINA_BASE to c:/servers directory. But when I'm running the startup.bat two windows are popping up for a sec and they are closing. The server is not starting. I found the error as java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError. Bad version number in class file
Then I tried to install tomcat 8 using windows installer with again different port numbers in the same c:/servers directory which worked perfectly. It started and tomcat home screen also loaded. My work is survived with tomcat installer but I want to know why manual configuration failed.
OS = windows 10 64 bit
Please help me in making manual configuration of tomcat. If any other information is needed, I'll provide.
EDIT 1
I got this error java.lang.InvocationTargetException when I tried to install another instance of tomcat 5.5 manually in c:/servers directory
The exception UnsupportedClassVersionError occurs when you try to execute *.class files with an older version of Java as they were compiled for.
In your case, you are trying to run Tomcat 7 with Java 1.5, but its minimum requirement for the JRE is version 1.6. The latest version of Tomcat that supports Java 1.5 is Tomcat 6. Check out this overview for more information:
Apache Tomcat Versions
I installed Tomcat 6.0.18 on a windows server 2003 box and it will not start as a service.
I'm running it with jdk 1.6.0_07.
It runs when I start it with tomcat6.exe.
I got a vague error in the System Event Log on Windows.
The Apache Tomcat 6 service terminated with service-specific error 0 (0x0).
I'll bite it :-)
Tomcat Service on windows is dependent on the MS C Runtime library msvcr71.dll. As long as it is in the path, the service will start just fine.
Just to prevent your other windows to be forced to use this version of the runtime library, you might want to copy the DLL to just the tomcat bin path instead of windows\system32.
From gobaco.wordpress.com
Tomcat 6 couldn’t find a file called msvcr71.dll.
I just copied it over from
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322
to
c:\windows\system32
and was able to start tomcat.
I thought this was very strange, so I wanted to post it on SO in case anyone else runs into this problem. If someone wants to post the same answer I'll accept it.
i follow the above guide but still the same, error 0,
my process monitor log at http://www.sendspace.com/file/t0tahr
I solved the same problem enabling the default java virtual machine in the configuration app.
Assuming you have installed tomcat using:
service install tomcat-6.0.35
execute:
tomcat6w //ES/tomcat-6.0.35
a window pops up, select the java tab and click on "Use default" checkbox.
The service install script (I immagine) selected C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll instead.
Environment:
Windows Server standard SP2 64-bin
Java 1.6.0_23-b05 (Java hotspot 64-bit server vm 19.0-b09 mixed mode)
Apache tomcat 6.35 (you guessed this didn't you?)
I copied the msvcr71.dll from the java home directory to the bin directory of the apache-tomcat install, and the service started after that.
Even though it's an older post, I thought I'd share the knowledge about the very same issue I had, but the workaround was different.
The Apache Tomcat 7 service terminated with service-specific error 0 (0x0).
As there was no more information regarding the problem I went back to the Tomcat Control Panel and had a look at the Java path, which was pointed to an earlier installation of Java Virtual Machine:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll, which no longer existed, so I had to change the JRE version to jre7.
Having done that, the service started up and all running now.
Hope it'll help some of you out there.
