In
this blog, we are going to learn how we can set up a tomcat server on the local or remote machines for web-application deployment.
To deploy files we need to use “Deploy Plugin”. This plugin takes a war/ear file and deploys that to a running remote application server or local machine at the end of a build. The list of currently supported containers include:
· Tomcat
4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x and higher
· JBoss
3.x/4.x
· Glassfish
2.x/3.x
Below
Steps we need to follow to first setup Tomcat Server on our local or Remote
Machine:
2) Unzip
Tomcat File, under Setup in a conf folder inside Server.xml we can update the default port for the tomcat server. Please Note by default tomcat server runs on
Port 8080 but in this example, I have updated the port to 8181 since my Jenkins is
already running on port 8080.
3)In
the Same Folder, inside tomcat-user.xml add one new user role or update any
existing user with the below role.
<user
username="deployer" password="deployer"
roles="manager-gui,manager-script,admin"/>
4)To Start Tomcat, Inside Bin click on startup or to shutdown we can also use shutdown.
Tomcat Server is up and
running on Port 8181
