Setting up the Admin User for tomcat

Edit the “tomcat-users.xml” file as

vi /usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/conf/tomcat-users.xml

[You will have to find out the path for tomcat-users.xml on your server first]

Add a line like in that conf file as :

 <user username=”username” password=”password” roles=”manager,admin”/>

You will have to check that none of the default users have the manager or admin roles.

If tomcat is failed on the server, Then login to the server with root login details and Goto, ————————-

cd /usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/bin/

————————-

Check the running processes as

ps aux | grep tomcat

Then stop all tomcat processes. You can stop it with the script as ————————-

root@servername [/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/bin]# ./shutdown.sh ————————- [This script will stop the tomcat processes that are running]

In order to fix tomcat run following command under /usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/bin

————————-

root@servername [/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/bin]# java -jar bootstrap.jar

————————- [This will set java environment for tomcat on the server]

Then start the tomcat service with the script

————————-

root@servername [/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/bin]# ./setclasspath.sh

root@servername [/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/bin]# ./startup.sh ————————- [This script start tomcat on the server]

You will have to stop and restart apache service on the server many times before you run startup.sh script.
