If you want to use Tomcat, you must activate it. You can use Server Admin or the
command-line tool to start Tomcat.
To start Tomcat using Server Admin:
1 In Server Admin, click Application Server in the list for the server you want.
2 Click Settings in the button bar.
3 Click Tomcat Only.
4 Click Start Service.
To start Tomcat using Terminal:
1 Open the Terminal application.
2 Type the following commands:
cd /Library/Tomcat/bin
./catalina.sh start
To verify that Tomcat is running, use a browser to access port 9006 of your website by
entering the URL for your site followed by :9006. If Tomcat is running, this URL will
display the Tomcat home page.
MySQL
MySQL provides a relational database management solution for your web server. With
this open-source software, you can link data in different tables or databases and
provide the information on your website.
The MySQL Manager application simplifies setting up the MySQL database on
Mac OS X Server. You can use MySQL Manager to initialize the MySQL database, and to
start and stop the MySQL service.
MySQL is preinstalled on Mac OS X Server, with its various files already in the
appropriate locations. At some point you may wish to upgrade to a newer version of
MySQL. You can install the new version in /usr/local/mysql, but MySQL Manager will
not be aware of the new version of MySQL and will continue to control the pre-
installed version. If you do install a newer version of MySQL, use MySQL Manager to
stop the preinstalled version, then start the newer version via the config file.
