Tomcat installation

  • Download the installation file: apache-tomcat-6.0.18.exe (latest at the time of writing)
  • Run the installation file by double-clicking
  • The following dialog appears:
  • Press "I Agree" and continue


  • Choose Next and continue
  • Continue through the remaining dialogs until the default installation finishes

 

Be aware that the default installation uses port 8080 and a blank admin password. This can of course be changed after installation. The default installation will run tomcat as a Windows service. There should be an icon in the system tray that shows you the service is running by displaying a green arrow.

Check the management console on http://localhost:8080 to verify the correctness of the installation.
