Tips & Warnings
Tomcat is based on Java and Java Servlet. Different versions of Tomcat are best used with the different Servlet and JSP specifications. Make sure you use the best match for your specifications.
For some operating systems, the Tomcat console comes up automatically once the start-up script is initiated. Linux is not one of those operating systems. Keep careful track of the directories and subdirectories, and write them down so you can execute the proper commands.
