Deploying Tomcat to a Linux system typically involves the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download Tomcat: Download the compressed file of Tomcat from the official website, and choose the version that suits your needs (such as Tomcat 9).<\/li>\n
  2. Extract the Tomcat compressed file: Use either the command line or the graphical user interface to extract the downloaded Tomcat compressed file to the target folder.<\/li>\n
  3. Configure environment variables by editing the environment variable configuration file of the Linux system (such as ~\/.bashrc or \/etc\/environment), and add the path of Tomcat to the PATH variable so that the Tomcat command can be accessed from anywhere.<\/li>\n
  4. Start Tomcat: Navigate to the bin directory of Tomcat in the command line, and run startup.sh to start the Tomcat server.<\/li>\n
  5. Configure Tomcat: You can modify settings such as port numbers and virtual hosts by editing Tomcat’s configuration file (e.g. conf\/server.xml) as needed.<\/li>\n
  6. Deploying the application: Copy the compiled WAR file to the webapps directory of Tomcat, where it will be automatically unpacked and deployed by Tomcat.<\/li>\n
  7. To access the application, simply enter the IP address of the Tomcat server and its port number (usually 8080) in your browser.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By following the steps above, you can successfully deploy Tomcat on a Linux system and run your Java web application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
