本文介绍如何在CentOS系统上安装并配置Apache Tomcat 8.x版本，包括创建服务账户、设置环境变量、使用systemd管理服务、验证安装及配置防火墙等步骤。

Installation and Configuration on CentOS

Requirement

Open a terminal and switch to root user.

su -
yum install -y java-1.8.0 wget
java -version

Create Tomcat Service Account

groupadd tomcat
useradd -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat -s /bin/nologin tomcat

Download & Setup Apache Tomcat

wget http://www-us.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.20/bin/apache-tomcat-8.5.20.tar.gz
tar -zxvf apache-tomcat-*.tar.gz
mv apache-tomcat-8.5.20/* /opt/tomcat/
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/tomcat/

Set Environment Variables

mkdir /opt/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh
chmod 777 /opt/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh

Example:

export variableName=value
...

Systemd

vi /etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service

Add below information to Tomcat systemd service file.

[Unit]
Description=Apache Tomcat 8.x Web Application Container
Wants=network.target
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking

Environment=JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.141-1.b16.el7_3.x86_64/jre
Environment=CATALINA_PID=/opt/tomcat/temp/tomcat.pid
Environment=CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat
Environment='CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms512M -Xmx1G -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true'
Environment='JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true'

ExecStart=/opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
ExecStop=/opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
SuccessExitStatus=143

User=tomcat
Group=tomcat
UMask=0007
RestartSec=10
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Reload systemd daemon.

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start tomcat
systemctl status tomcat
systemctl enable tomcat   //Enable the auto start of Tomcat service on system start

Verify Apache Tomcat

By default, Tomcat runs on port no 8080. Use netstat command to check whether the service is listening on port 8080 or not.

netstat -antup | grep 8080

Output:

tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      2428/java

Firewall

You may need to allow port 8080 in the firewall so that we can access Tomcat from external networks.

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8080/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
