100 Days of DevOps - Day 11, Setup and Install Tomcat - Issue

DevOps
,
#1

I keep failing this easy task, even doing what I believe is correct.

Here is my steps for instruction that I need to setup and install tomcat on Naut App 01

  1. ssh tony@hostname
  2. sudo yum install -y tomcat tomcat-webapps tomcat-admin-webapps
  3. sudo systemctl enable tomcat
  4. sudo vi /etc/tomcat/server.xml
  5. Change the Port to the said port (either 5001 or 8082)
  6. ssh thor@hostname (go to jump host)
  7. scp /tmp/ROOT.war tony@hostname:/tmp/
  8. Deploy ( sudo cp /tmp/ROOT.war /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/ //
    sudo chown tomcat:tomcat /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/ROOT.war)
  9. Start and apply changes (sudo systemctl restart tomcat //
    sudo systemctl status tomcat)
  10. test via curl (curl http:hostname:5001, which is successful and given me a response for default tomcat)

Hello there and happy holidays, I hope I can resolve your issue.

Also wondering what error was given when you clicked Check?

The only difference I can spot in this from mine would be just simply installing tomcat and no need to chown. Also, I assume you sudo systemctl start tomcat and just forgot to list it in your steps.

My steps follow using port 3002 for my task

thor@jumphost /tmp$ scp /tmp/ROOT.war tony@stapp01:/tmp

thor@jumphost /tmp$ ssh tony@stapp01

[tony@stapp01 ~]$ sudo yum update -y
[tony@stapp01 ~]$ sudo yum install tomcat -y

[tony@stapp01 ~]$ sudo vi /etc/tomcat/server.xml
<Connector port=“3002” protocol=“HTTP/1.1”
:wq

[tony@stapp01 ~]$ sudo cp /tmp/ROOT.war /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/

[tony@stapp01 ~]$ sudo systemctl enable --now tomcat

[tony@stapp01 ~]$ sudo systemctl status tomcat

[tony@stapp01 ~]$ sudo netstat -tulpen | grep 3002

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3002 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 53 729676579 4541/java

[tony@stapp01 ~]$ curl http://stapp01:3002

Thanks for the reply and guidance. I did start it up since I have made connection via curl and netstat too. It just weird that it keeps failing me when doing the “check” for the task. I did tried to follow your steps and now it does work. Thank you!
