Tomcat LAB PROBLEM

Lab Support
#1

Install the latest version of tomcat 8 on host01 server under /opt/ directory.
Please move extracted package to /opt/apache-tomcat-8 to keep just major version for simplicity.

To download the latest version of tomcat 8. Click on the Tomcat tab. It’s available at the top right.

solution:
Click the tab called Tomcat (located above the terminal) . After clicking on the tomcat version directory i.e. v8.5.98. You will see directory structure as follows:-

Move on to the bin directory and next, right-click on the apache-tomcat-8.5.98.tar.gz archive file and copy the link address. You can then download it using curl.

  • tomcat-8.5.98.tar.gz – copying this link address does not work, if i download this, i can not find another link in it
#2

The tar.gz file is an archive. You use tar with the correct options to extract it’s contents.

#3

I couldn’t find the link to Tomcat 8 in the tab so I downloaded and extracted Tomcat 9 and then the rest of the lab didn’t work for me.

#4

Looks like the Apache Tomcat project declared v8 EOL back in March 2024, and have now pulled that old version off their site; the URL no longer resolves. I have reported this to our lab team for updating.
