How do you start a Linux Tomcat?

To start the Tomcat server, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal or command line window.
2. Navigate to the installation directory of Tomcat. For example, if Tomcat is installed in the directory /usr/local/tomcat, you can use the following command: cd /usr/local/tomcat.
3. Switch to the bin directory of Tomcat. Use the command: cd bin.
4. Run the startup script by typing ./startup.sh in the terminal (for Linux) or ./catalina.sh start (for Mac).
5. Wait for a while until the Tomcat server starts successfully. You will see some relevant success messages in the terminal output.
6. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080 (the default port is 8080). If everything is working correctly, you will see the welcome page of Tomcat.

To stop the Tomcat server, you can follow these steps:

1. Switch to the bin directory of Tomcat in the terminal.
2. Execute the shutdown script. Type ./shutdown.sh in the terminal (for Linux) or ./catalina.sh stop (for Mac).
3. Wait for a while until the Tomcat server successfully stops. You will see some relevant success messages in the terminal output.
