Install Tomcat 5.0 in IBM AIX

Asked By whopperman 10 points N/A Posted on - 12/07/2011

I set up Tomcat 5.0 as an unprivileged user in IBM AIX [not Linux]. I need to use SSL port 443, and get an error when transferred to port 8443. In Linux, you can use IP tables, what are the solutions in AIX?

Install Tomcat 5.0 in IBM AIX

The following is the procedure to help you to set up Tomcat 5.0 as an unprivileged user in IBM AIX. I hope it will help you in a way:

• The first thing that you should be aware of is that the Tomcat 5 will requires Java 1.5,  and therefore you should have it installed already. And you should make sure that the java 1.5 application is compatible otherwise it will  bring issues during the setting up of the Tomcat server.
• Once you have installed java, you will go to the internet and download the tomcat package, which should be in the zipped or tar format, you will untar it.
• Next you will set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables, and then run the start script.
• That is it.
