Recommended Servlet Engine (Tomcat) Installation |
|
It is recommended to install Apache Tomcat in a directory directly under the specified drive root and without version information. E.g. "C:\Tomcat" instead of "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0" as proposed by the installer. This way, the directory does not need to be renamed when upgrading Apache Tomcat.
Recommended Tomcat installation directory
The reason for not installing it to the "Program Files" folder is based on the user profile and rights management of Operating Systems (especially Windows Server 2008 R2). Because of security guidelines some OS will restrict write access to the "Program Files" folder and redirect to the user profile directory (even for local administrators!). This way a project configuration saved by WebOffice author will not be published in projects folder.
If you want to install Apache Tomcat in your "Program Files" folder by any reason, you have to ensure that WebOffice author is installed for every user (see chapter WebOffice author (Administrative computer) for details) and that ArcMap is always executed as administrator. Problems concerning read and write access on the WebOffice web application if Tomcat is installed in "Program Files" folder are not in reach of SynerGIS Informationssysteme GmbH.
Note: After the Apache Tomcat installation please test the installation:
Go to "http://<server>:8080/manager/html" and log in with your user name and password.
