In my previous articles for installation and configuration of apache tomcat 6 I tried to focus on the configuration of this web server with other utilities like setting up apache tomcat with apache2, configuration of apache tomcat with virtual host and apcahe2. Today I like to share a very simple method that will show the steps of configuration of apache tomcat 6 on debian lenny with some java settings.
I hope that you have a working installation of Debian 5 (Lenny), and have enough knowledge to update and install new packages on the system. I also assume that you have a functional SSH connection and root access to your server. why would you look for a functional SSH connection? because you can access the system using some connectivity software like putty to do the configurations.
You have to Make sure that your package repositories and installed programs are up to date by issuing the following commands:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade –show-upgraded
