When migrating Tomcat from NetWare to Linux, there are three things to consider:
For more information about using Tomcat on Linux, see the Tomcat 4 documentation.
For NetWare, the default location for Tomcat sys:\tomcat. For Linux, the default location for Tomcat is /usr/share/tomcat.
When migrating Tomcat from NetWare to Linux, you need to copy your servlet and JSP files. The easiest way to copy these files is to map a drive on a Windows* workstation to both the Netware server and the Linux server. (If you chose the default installation of Linux, the Samba server that enables drive mapping is installed by default). For information on how to configure your WAR and JSP files, see Section 2.0, Tomcat Installation and Configuration.
Tomcat has two administrative tools: the Tomcat Web Server Administration Tool and the Tomcat Web Application Manager. The URL for each tool is different for NetWare and Linux.
The default URL for the Tomcat Web Server Administration Tool on NetWare is https://domain/tomcat/admin/index.jsp. For Linux, the default URL is https://domain/admin/.
The default URL for the Tomcat Web Application Manager on NetWare is https://domain/tomcat/manager/html/. For Linux, the default URL is https://domain/manager/html/.
For information on how to administer Tomcat using the Tomcat Web Server Administration Tool and the Tomcat Web Application Manager, see Section 2.0, Tomcat Installation and Configuration.
To restart Tomcat on Linux, enter /usr/share/tomcat/bin/startup.sh at the command line. To shut down Tomcat, enter /usr/share/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh at the command line.
