WEBVTT 00:02.690 --> 00:03.700 Hey, welcome back. 00:03.710 --> 00:05.630 So let's go ahead and get our hands dirty. 00:05.630 --> 00:10.310 So in this video, I'm going to show you how to install Tomcat on Microsoft Windows. 00:13.850 --> 00:14.270 All right. 00:14.270 --> 00:17.390 So the first thing we need to do is we need to download Tomcat. 00:17.390 --> 00:22.160 So in my browser, I'm going to visit Tomcat dot Apache dot org. 00:26.290 --> 00:28.720 And so this will take me to the Tomcat website. 00:28.750 --> 00:33.610 Over on the left hand side is a download section where we can actually download some of the software. 00:43.280 --> 00:45.350 All right, so I'll select the link for Tomcat eight. 00:45.530 --> 00:47.900 I'm on the Tomcat eight downloads page now. 00:49.250 --> 00:55.040 I'll move down to the section for binary distributions and I'll choose this 32 bit, 64 bit Windows 00:55.040 --> 00:56.390 Service Installer. 00:56.900 --> 00:59.020 So this is the normal MSI file. 00:59.030 --> 01:02.270 It'll install Tomcat as a Windows Service. 01:02.980 --> 01:04.750 So I'll go ahead and select this link. 01:06.410 --> 01:09.710 And right now my browser will start downloading it to my file system. 01:12.950 --> 01:13.400 All right, great. 01:13.400 --> 01:14.300 So now we have a download. 01:14.370 --> 01:21.290 Let's go ahead and open up a Windows Explorer and I move I'll move into this downloads folder and there's 01:21.290 --> 01:24.320 the file that was just downloaded, Apache Tomcat eight. 01:24.320 --> 01:25.850 So that's the actual installer. 01:26.180 --> 01:29.600 So let's go ahead and run this installer just by double clicking it. 01:31.770 --> 01:33.540 So this will start up the installer I'll hit. 01:33.540 --> 01:34.230 Yes. 01:35.850 --> 01:37.810 And here I'm at the first step of the wizard. 01:37.830 --> 01:39.330 I'll go ahead and click next. 01:39.720 --> 01:40.920 I'll agree. 01:41.100 --> 01:43.470 And then here we choose our components. 01:43.890 --> 01:48.120 For the components, I like to choose full just so I can get all the examples in the host manager. 01:48.390 --> 01:53.610 Again, a nice thing about this Tomcat installer that installs it as a service, so I'll make sure that 01:53.610 --> 01:55.830 the service thing is enabled or check there. 01:56.650 --> 01:58.120 I'll go ahead and hit next. 01:58.780 --> 02:01.340 By default, tomcat cat on point 8080. 02:01.690 --> 02:02.530 Feel free to change that. 02:02.530 --> 02:06.660 But I like to keep the defaults and then you can set up a administrator log in. 02:06.670 --> 02:09.340 So for now, just say admin admin again. 02:09.340 --> 02:13.540 You can give any username and password that you want and then I'll hit next. 02:15.890 --> 02:18.830 I'll accept the default installation here for my JIRA. 02:18.860 --> 02:20.120 I'm using Java eight. 02:20.240 --> 02:20.920 That's fine. 02:20.930 --> 02:21.890 I'll hit next. 02:22.770 --> 02:25.560 And also accept the default installation directory. 02:25.560 --> 02:29.520 You can feel free to change this, but I'll go ahead and keep the default installation directory for 02:29.520 --> 02:31.710 Tomcat and then I'll hit install. 02:32.930 --> 02:37.160 And so at this point, we'll go through the process of installing the software and now it says, hey, 02:37.160 --> 02:39.290 we're the software is installed. 02:39.620 --> 02:45.380 I'll turn off the option to show the read me, I'll hit finish and now it'll actually start Tomcat as 02:45.380 --> 02:46.640 a Windows Service. 02:49.060 --> 02:49.600 All right, great. 02:49.600 --> 02:50.650 So TomKat has started. 02:50.650 --> 02:56.050 Let's go ahead and verify our installation and we can verify it by viewing a website, local hosts, 02:56.050 --> 02:56.820 A.D. 80. 02:56.830 --> 02:59.410 That's where our local Tomcat server is running right now. 03:04.740 --> 03:07.860 So if everything works out right, it should bring up this page that you see here. 03:07.860 --> 03:10.230 So it'll say Apache Tomcat version eight. 03:11.050 --> 03:12.910 And then also they even give you a message. 03:12.910 --> 03:15.850 If you're seeing this, you successfully install TomKat. 03:15.850 --> 03:16.900 Congratulations. 03:16.900 --> 03:18.160 So we know that we're okay. 03:18.160 --> 03:22.300 So Tomcat was installed successfully and Tomcat is up and running. 03:22.300 --> 03:23.920 So good job so far. 03:26.200 --> 03:29.860 Now I'm going to show you one other thing you can do is you can actually configure Tomcat, so you can 03:29.860 --> 03:32.380 just right click on the little Tomcat icon in the bottom. 03:32.380 --> 03:32.830 Right. 03:34.270 --> 03:36.460 And say right click and hit configure. 03:38.870 --> 03:44.480 And this will bring up the configuration window for Tomcat so you can change like the display name for 03:44.480 --> 03:45.440 the service. 03:45.530 --> 03:48.350 You could change the actual description at the bottom. 03:48.350 --> 03:53.480 It shows you if the status, if it's running or stopped, you can play around some logging stuff, a 03:53.480 --> 03:54.920 lot of other things you can play around with. 03:54.920 --> 03:59.360 But for right now, I'll just go ahead and keep everything as the defaults and I'll just hit cancel 03:59.360 --> 04:00.020 right now. 04:00.170 --> 04:04.880 Another nice thing is that you can actually administer Tomcat via the services control panel. 04:04.880 --> 04:07.010 So I'll go ahead and click on services here. 04:07.040 --> 04:08.510 It'll bring it up and we'll see. 04:08.510 --> 04:13.640 In the list we have Apache Tomcat eight that's listed as a service and it's currently running. 04:15.140 --> 04:17.770 So just like any standard service, you can just right click. 04:17.780 --> 04:20.840 You can stop it, pause it, resume it, restart it. 04:20.840 --> 04:23.210 You can do all the normal things you can do with the service. 04:24.450 --> 04:29.760 What I'd like to do now is actually stop TomKat because we're going to run it later via Eclipse. 04:29.760 --> 04:31.560 So I'll go ahead and stop this service. 04:31.560 --> 04:32.760 I'll just do a right click. 04:32.760 --> 04:33.750 I'll hit stop. 04:35.470 --> 04:38.290 And then we'll go through the process of stopping the Tomcat server. 04:38.290 --> 04:39.490 So right now it's not running. 04:39.490 --> 04:44.890 But don't worry, later on we'll actually hook up Tomcat and Eclipse to run together and we'll cover 04:44.890 --> 04:46.390 that in one of the following videos. 04:48.660 --> 04:50.100 Now we were successful. 04:50.100 --> 04:55.320 We were able to download Tomcat and install it and then also go through the process of verifying our 04:55.320 --> 04:56.130 installation. 04:56.130 --> 05:01.410 And then finally we went around and took a look at some of the configs and also looked at the services 05:01.410 --> 05:02.270 control panel. 05:02.280 --> 05:03.870 So good job so far.
