Tomcat Ports Tuning

To have the tomcat to be hosted in secured way we need to run it using the SSL certs.
By default we will have a section for this.
All we need to do is that we need to uncomment the Connector section with the SSL details.
In the same way we can change the port numbers to any other open port numbers.
We might need to change the port numbers to secure our tomcat application.

Troubleshooting Tomcat using Catalina log

Troubleshooting Tomcat using Catalina log We can get the catalina logs in $CATALINA_HOME/logs Here we'll have a catalina.out We can see some huge info in that log file. If we want to what exactly happens since the start of tomcat then we need to log that into a new file. By default we have log rotation enabled on this logs. For now let us stop tomcat and nullify the catalina.out file and then start tomcat to have some new info in the catalina.out # service tomcat stop # cd $CATALINA_HOME/logs # :> catalina.out (or) cat /dev/null > catalina.out # ll catalina.out -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 16:19 catalina.out # service tomcat start # ll catalina.out -rw-r----- 1 root root 17341 Feb 18 16:21 catalina.out We can see the log being written after the start of tomcat. Now we can notice the instance giving some information about the starting of tomcat, about the configuration for the startup, path of the servlet instance for which the log is re...

Managing tomcat application

Tomcat is a servlet application which is ready to use after download. There is no need of installing this application. We can directly start or stop it from the bin directory. So in such case we should go to the bin directory in the CATALINA_HOME or else we need to use the startup script along with its absolute path. And the same is needed to shut it down. We can use the below script to manage the tomcat application and we neither need to go to the CATALINA_HOME nor to use the absolute path. All we need to do is to change the permissions to make it executable and copy that to /sbin and /etc/init.d/ directories. If we copy this into /etc/init.d/ then also we need to mention the absolute path but we can easily memorize it as we know all the startup scripts exists there. But if we copy that into /sbin then there is absolutely no need of mentioning the path of the file. We can use this like below: # tomcat start|stop|restart|status #!/bin/bash # Author : Arjun S...

I have just published what is RHEV is the first article to understand RHEV Better. In order to maintain multiple RHEV-Hosts from central place RHEV-Manager is required. RHEV-M will be used as central place to manage all RHEV-Hosts. In this Article We are going to see HowTo Install RHEV-M Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager RHEL 7. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Management (RHEV-M) is a virtual management console built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It interacts with individual RHEV-Hosts using the Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM). A VDSM agent is running on each of the RHEV-H nodes. RHEV-M allows administrators to manage/control number of data centers and their network, compute and storage resources. In addition RHEV-M provides a central repository for storing virtual machines, disks, images and virtual machine snapshots.
