So… Now that I’m back at it I can load the test page but the highlighted links give me a Tomcat 404 error page, so something is wrong. I found this guide to setting up Tomcat on Ubuntu LTS 22 here<\/a>. First I need to a user setup in \/etc\/tomcat9\/tomcat-users.xml.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/tomcat-users>\n        <role rolename=\"admin-gui\"\/>\n\n        <role rolename=\"manager-gui\"\/>\n\n        <user username=\"tomcat\" password=\"pass\" roles=\"admin-gui,manager-gui\"\/><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
That should do the ticket for testing purposes.  So ‘systemctl restart tomcat9’ and see what we get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nope.  Still 404.  I browsed through the server.xml config file and didn’t see anything wrong…  Maybe I should confirm those files actually exist.  I checked \/var\/www but nothing there, although I did notice that for some reason all users had write access to \/var\/www\/thecweb.com (which is something a fucking moron would do if they ran into a permissions issue setting up their website…)   So ‘chmod go-w thecweb.com’.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back to tomcat!  After some googling to find out where the missing files should be on disk I found that they simply weren’t in \/usr\/share like they should be.  And ‘apt list –installed | grep tomcat’ finally gave me my answer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cweb@thecweb:\/var\/lib\/tomcat9\/webapps\/ROOT\/META-INF$ apt list --installed | grep tomcat\n\nWARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.\n\nlibtomcat9-java\/jammy-updates,now 9.0.58-1ubuntu0.1 all [installed,automatic]\ntomcat9-common\/jammy-updates,now 9.0.58-1ubuntu0.1 all [installed,automatic]\ntomcat9\/jammy-updates,now 9.0.58-1ubuntu0.1 all [installed]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
I somehow only managed to install tomcat9 and tomcat9-common packages.  So I installed the missing packages and voila!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to take a break for now, but there is a small change I’ll jump back in later.  It’s only 1  pm…  And I’d like to get this running before my next work week starts.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
