Jakarta Tomcat Web Server, Version 5.0.16If the course you are setting up requires Tomcat 5.0.16, follow these instructions to set it up on the student and instructor machines. If you have questions, please contact your courseware vendor.
First, note that Tomcat requires the J2SE. See separate setup instructions for the J2SE SDK, version 1.4.2, here:
The binary download for Tomcat 5.0.16 is located at:
 |
http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-5/archive/v5.0.16/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16.zip
After downloading, unpack the entire contents of the archive into a new directory anywhere on the machine; on Windows systems, extracting right to the c:\ root is a common practice, since everything is contained in a root directory jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16. We also suggest renaming the top-level directory to something simpler, such as Tomcat5. Wherever you install it, this root directory is the Tomcat home, and an environment variable CATALINA_HOME must be created with this path as its value.

To test the installation, open a console and run the following command:
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup
(See a new console appear, and after a few seconds some diagnostic information about the server should appear in it, concluding with "Server startup in NNNNN ms. Shut the server down with the following command: )
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\shutdown
