Tomcat is a servlet container that implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment for Java code to run in. Tomcat powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations.

This appliance integrates Tomcat with the Apache web server. When a fully featured web server is not required, consider using the Standalone Tomcat Appliance.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• Tomcat on Apache configurations:

  • TurnKey web control panel in /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/cp

    /etc/tomcat7/mod_jk.conf redirects the root web page to the control panel:

    RedirectMatch ^/$ /cp
    

  • All components installed from package management.

  • Using OpenJDK Java runtime.

  • Deployed web applications in /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps.

  • TurnKey web control panel in /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/cp.

  • JSP console output sent to syslog (/var/log/syslog).

  • Created Tomcat admin/manager roles and admin user.

  • Use Apache2 Jk loadbalancer connector (performance).

  • JkMounts for admin, manager, host-manager applications (convenience).

  • Bind Tomcat AJP connector to localhost (security).

  • Removed Tomcat HTTP connector listener (security).

  • Set system wide Tomcat and Java environment variables.

• Includes MySQL.

• SSL support out of the box.

• Includes Webmin module for configuring Apache2 and MySQL.

See the Tomcat on Apache docs for further details.

• Webmin, SSH, MySQL: username root
