以centos6.8安装tomcat7为例

1.获取apache-tomcat-7.0.73.tar.gz文件

2.解压

sudo tar -zxvf apache-tomcat-7.0.73.tar.gz

3.编辑server.xml将字符集配置成UTF-8

cd apache-tomcat-7.0.73/

sudo vim conf/server.xml 

找到此节点,新增斜体部分<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

                                             connectionTimeout="20000"

                                                  redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" >

4.配置环境变量

export CATALINA_HOME=/developer/apache-tomcat-7.0.73

在PATH环境变量后面增加$CATALINA_HOME/bin

5.测试启动

cd /developer/apache-tomcat-7.0.73/bin

sudo ./startup.sh

出现一下文字则安装成功

Using CATALINA_BASE: /developer/apache-tomcat-7.0.73

Using CATALINA_HOME:  /developer/apache-tomcat-7.0.73

Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /developer/apache-tomcat-7.0.73/temp

Using JRE_HOME:        /usr

Using CLASSPATH:      /developer/apache-tomcat-7.0.73/bin/bootstrap.jar:/developer/apache-tomcat-7.0.73/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

Tomcat started.

最重要的是Tomcat started.
