Install Tomcat 7 on Debian (Lenny) with virtual hosts and Apache2 integration

11 December 2010 sebastian Linux, 35   Switch language:

Dieser Artikel ist eine überarbeitete Version meines Tomcat 6 Artikels. Es soll Tomcat 7 unter Debian Lenny installiert werden und mit mehreren virtuellen Hosts betrieben werden. Tomcat 7 ist unter Debian leider nicht über die Quellen zu beziehen, deshalb muss er manuell installiert werden.

Tomcat 7 ist aktuell noch BETA. Für produktive Server sollte man lieber noch auf Tomcat 6 zurückgreifen.

1. Installation von Java 6 runtime:

Eine der folgenden Java JDK Installationen wählen:

1.1 OpenJDK

aptitude install openjdk-6-jre

1.2 Sun Java (non-free)

vim /etc/apt/sources

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free

aptitude update
aptitude install sun-java6-jre

Bemerkung: Nicht vergessen, dass eine andere Konfiguration beim Apache-Connector erforderlich sein wird, sollte Sun JDK verwendet werden.

2. Download Tomcat

Download Tomcat 7 von der Tomcat 7 Download Seite.

Zum Beispiel:

wget http://artfiles.org/apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.5-beta/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.5.tar.gz

3. Installation von Tomcat

tar -xzvf apache-tomcat-7.0.5.tar.gz
mv apache-tomcat-7.0.5 /opt/tomcat

4. Tomcat Benutzer und Gruppe anlegen

groupadd tomcat
useradd -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat tomcat
usermod -G www-data tomcat
chown tomcat:tomcat /opt/tomcat -R

Dies legt einen neuen Benutzer “tomcat” und eine neue Gruppe “tomcat” an. Außerdem wird das Home-Directory dieses Benutzers auf “/opt/tomcat” gesetzt. Der Benutzer wird außerdem in die Gruppe “www-data” verschoben. Dies ist notwendig um Zugriff auf die virtuellen Hosts des Apaches zu haben. Zum Schluss werden dem neuen Benutzer “tomcat” noch die Besitzrechte für den Ordner “/opt/tomcat” übertragen.

5. Init-Skript erstellen

vim /etc/init.d/tomcat

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/init.d/tomcat -- startup script for the Tomcat 7 servlet engine
#
# Modified init-Script from Ubuntu Tomcat init-script

Herrunterladen des Init-Skripts: Tomcat 7 Init-Script (2.6 kB)

chmod +x /etc/init.d/tomcat
update-rc.d tomcat defaults

6. Aktivieren des Tomcat Managers

vim /opt/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
    <role rolename="manager"/>
    <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
    <role rolename="admin"/>
    <role rolename="admin-gui"/>
    <user username="YOUR_USERNAME" password="YOUR_PASSWORD" roles="admin,admin-gui,manager,manager-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>

6. Start Tomcat

/etc/init.d/tomcat start

Nun kann man den Tomcat Manager mit http://SERVER:8080/manager aufrufen.

7. Installation des Apache2 Connectors

Tomcat besitzt zwar einen eingebauten Webserver, jedoch ist der Apache2 Webserver wesentlich leistungsfähiger außerdem sind so die Apache Module verwendbar. (mod_rewrite zum Beipiel)

aptitude install apache2 libapache2-mod-jk

7.1 Apache worker

vim /etc/apache2/workers.properties

workers.tomcat_home=/opt/tomcat
workers.java_home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
ps=/
worker.list=default
worker.default.port=8009
worker.default.host=localhost
worker.default.type=ajp13
worker.default.lbfactor=1

Bemerkung: Falls die non-free Java Runtime von Sun verwendet wird, muss “/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk” durch “/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun” ersetzt werden.

7.2 JK Konfigurationsdatei

vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/jk.conf

<ifmodule mod_jk.c>
    JkWorkersFile /etc/apache2/workers.properties
    JkLogFile /var/log/apache2/mod_jk.log
    JkLogLevel error
</ifmodule>

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
/etc/init.d/tomcat restart
/etc/init.d/apache2 start

8. Neuen Virtuellen Host anlegen

Nun soll ein neuer VirtualHost angelegt werden. Dieser muss im Apache und im Tomcat angelegt werden.

8.1 Verzeichnisse anlegen

mkdir /var/www/vhost1
mkdir /var/www/vhost1/htdocs
mkdir /var/www/vhost1/logs

vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/vhost1

8.2 Apache

<virtualhost www.testsrv.local>
    JkMount /*.jsp default
    ServerName www.testsrv.local
    ServerAdmin servermaster@testsrv.local
    DocumentRoot /var/www/vhost1/htdocs
    ErrorLog /var/www/vhost1/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /var/www/vhost1/logs/access.log common
    <directory /var/www/vhost1/htdocs>
        Options -Indexes
    </directory>
</virtualhost>

Bemerkung: Man könnte auch alle Dateien an den Tomcat weiterleiten “JkMount /*” oder alle Dateien innerhalb eines Verzeichnisses “JkMount /folder/*”.

a2ensite vhost1
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

8.3 Tomcat

vim /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml

<!-- www.testsrv.local -->
<Host name="www.testsrv.local" appBase="/var/www/vhost1" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
    <Context path="" docBase="htdocs" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="/var/www/vhost1/logs"  prefix="tomcat_access_" suffix=".log" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
</Host>

Bemerkung: Bitte sicherstellen, dass das “H”, “C” und “V” von “Host”, “Content” und “Value” groß geschrieben sind. Dies ist wichtig seit Version 7 von Tomcat.

/etc/init.d/tomcat restart

Bemerkung: Man kann weitere Domains mit:

<Alias>additionaldomain.com</Alias>

hinzufügen.

9. Testseite anlegen

vim /var/www/vhost1/htdocs/test.jsp

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Hello World</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello World</h1>
        Today is: <%= new java.util.Date().toString() %>
    </body>
</html>

Nun kann man durch den Aufruf von http://www.testsrv.local/test.jsp die Konfiguration/Installation testen.
