Configuring Tomcat in an AWS EC2 instance
Tomcat can be installed on a variety of systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. In this post, we will look at how to install and configure Tomcat on a AWS Ec2 instance.
Pre-Requisite Software
A few crucial stages are involved in the Tomcat installation procedure on AWS EC2. To access Tomcat from the user's external IP address, an EC2 instance must first be launched in AWS, and then the required security group rules must be implemented.
Verify the below steps Before Installing Tomcat?
- The Java Development Kit (JDK) must also be installed before proceeding with the Apache Tomcat installation. Tomcat, once installed, can be set to run as a service, allowing it to start automatically when the system boots.
- Sign in to your AWS account and launch your EC2 instance.
- And if you don't have one, make one and launch it--for more information, see my video guide.
- Use Git Bash to connect.
- Note: You must first locate your pem file and then launch GitBash.
- Connect to your EC2 instance with the ssh command.
- ssh -i "JenkinsServer.pem" ec2-user@ec2-65-0-91-102.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com.
- Verify whether Java is installed.checking the Java type " java -version ".

user/java/".
user/java/".
right-click on the Tomcat official link.
4. We may get Apache Tomcat version 8.5.59 using the wget command at
"mirrors.estointernet.in/apache/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.59/bin/apache-
tomcat-8.5.59.zip".
"mirrors.estointernet.in/apache/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.59/bin/apache-
tomcat-8.5.59.zip".
5. It'll download zipped bundle in its place. Now want to unzip with the

9. You will notice directories called bin log conf lib.
10. Get inside the bin folder of Tomcat's CD bin and look for two extensions
in particular.bat & .sh.
in particular.bat & .sh.
For Linux, use.sh, and for Windows, use.bat.
11. How do we begin the Tomcat server startup.bat for Windows and
startup.sh for Linux And also for shutting down shutdown.bat
for Windows shutdown.sh for Linux/Mac.
