Installing - Tomcat
From the Desktop
Start up YaST (Yet another Setup Tool) by clicking the SUSE toolbar's "Start" button (the green button with the smiling gecko) => System menu => Control Center (YaST):
The YaST dialog opens telling you that you need to enter root's password before you can continue:
Enter the root password.
In the YaST window that opens, click the Software icon in the left menu and then the Software Management icon to the right.
YaST takes a moment to inventory what you already have installed and what you can install. Then it opens a window with a search dialog.
Search for tomcat:
Select tomcat - add additional components as required:
YaST will automatically include any necessary packages - select Continue.
The selected packages are installed.
YaST updates the system configuration files. Select Finish as we will configure Tomcat next.
Starting the Tomcat Service
We want Tomcat to start up when we boot. To enable this, click the System icon in the left pane of the YaST window. Then click the System Service (Runlevel) in the right pane.
Select the Expert mode radio button at the top of the dialog.
Scroll through the list of Services to find the Tomcat service entry.
Select tomcat from the scrolling list.
Under the Set/Reset dropdown in the lower-right corner, choose Enable the Service.
This should automatically select the appropriate runlevels to use when starting the service.
Under the Start/Stop/Refresh dropdown, select Start now ...
The Tomcat service will start. Select OK to continue.
Click Finish.
Save the changes.
We are returned to the YaST Control Center Main panel.
Testing Tomcat
You can test your Tomcat installation by going to http://localhost:8080/.
