The tomcat package does not install the example webapps, documentation
or admin webapp. You must supply your own webapps and configuration or
install the tomcat-examples package for the example webapps and
documentation. Sample config files for the host-manager and manager
webapps can be found in %%PREFIX%%/share/examples/tomcat.
The tomcat-admin package contains the admin webapp but you must supply
your own configuration for it or use the tomcat-examples package. A
sample config file can be found in %%PREFIX%%/share/examples/tomcat.
The tomcat-examples package includes the examples, full documentation
and localhost config files for admin, host-manager and manager webapps.
The packages are structured this way to facilate mantaining a server
which normally would not contain the examples and documentation webapp
and optionally contain the admin webapp.
Tomcat on OpenBSD uses the `%%SYSCONFDIR%%/tomcat' directory for its configuration
files. `$CATALINA_BASE' is `%%CATALINA_BASE%%'. All files contained within
these directories should be owned by the _tomcat user.
The startup.sh script has been modified to get important environment
variables from `%%SYSCONFDIR%%/tomcat/tomcat.rc'. You should define environment
variables such as JAVA_HOME and JAVA_OPTS in `%%SYSCONFDIR%%/tomcat/tomcat.rc'.
With the following command Tomcat is started as user `_tomcat':
$ sudo -u _tomcat %%PREFIX%%/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
If you want Tomcat to serve on privileged ports (e.g. 80), then makes
sure the Connector port is 80 in your `%%SYSCONFDIR%%/tomcat/server.xml', or even
more secure: redirect all tcp traffic to port 80 to Tomcat's default
listener port 8080 using a pf.conf(5) rule like:
rdr on $NIC proto tcp from any to any port 80 -> 127.0.0.1 port 8080
If you are upgrading and use database drivers, don't forget to copy them
into %%PREFIX%%/tomcat/common/lib. If you use ssi or cgi, remember to
rename to jar the appropriate .renametojar files in
%%PREFIX%%/tomcat/server/lib. You must also delete any work files in
`%%CATALINA_BASE%%/work' unless you are reinstalling the same full version of
Tomcat.
