Apache Tomcat is an opensource webserver product of Apache Foundation like Apache HTTP server. It is used to deploying Java Servlet and JSP applications. To deploy any application in Tomcat we can simply create a war file and deploy them. For more details about you can visit apache official sitehttp://tomcat.apache.org/ .
Step 1: Check JAVA
JAVA is the first requirement for Tomcat 7 installation. Make sure you have JAVA SE 6 or Later versioninstalled in your system. Use following command to check if you have java installed already on your system.
# java -version java version "1.8.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode)
If you do not have java installed, Use any article Install Java 7 or Install Java 8 in RHEL based systems.
Step 2: Download and Extract Tomcat Archive
Download Apache Tomcat archive file from Apache tomcat official download page. You can use below wget command to download it.
# cd /opt # wget http://www.eu.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.53/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.53.tar.gz
After competed download extract archive file in /opt directory. You may change this location as per your requirements.
# tar xzf apache-tomcat-7.0.53.tar.gz
Step 3: Start Tomcat
Tomcat is very easy to use, There are no need to compile its source. You simple extract the archive and start the tomcat server. Tomcat by default start on port 8080, Make sure no other services are running on same port using ‘telnet localhost 8080′.
# cd apache-tomcat-7.0.53 # ./bin/startup.sh
[Sample Output]
Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.53 Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.53 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/temp Using JRE_HOME: /opt/jdk1.8.0/jre Using CLASSPATH: /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/bin/tomcat-juli.jar Tomcat started.

<!-- user manager can access only manager section -->
<role rolename="manager-gui" />
<user username="manager" password="_SECRET_PASSWORD_" roles="manager-gui" />
<!-- user admin can access manager and admin section both -->
