Deploying Tomcat application using Podman on a cPanel server usually requires a variety of configuration steps. While there are several container management tools available, Podman offers a simpler and daemon-free approach to managing containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-by-Step Deployment Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Install Tomcat with Podman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start by accessing the Terminal on your cPanel<\/a>. To install Tomcat via Podman, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/scripts\/ea-podman install ea-tomcat101<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This command install Tomcat and creates a directory named like ea-tomcat101.username.02 within \/ea-podman.d\/ directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Upload Your WAR File<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now, navigate to the newly created Tomcat directory: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
cd \/home\/username\/ea-podman.d\/ea-tomcat101.username.02<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Inside this directory, locate the webapps folder and upload your .war file there. Make sure the file is named ROOT.war to ensure it\u2019s deployed correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Modify Tomcat Configuration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To ensure your application is deployed on startup, navigate to the conf file <\/p>\n\n\n\n
cd \/home\/username\/ea-podman.d\/ea-tomcat101.username.02\/conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
open the server.xml file for editing. Look for the following line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<Host name=”localhost” appBase=”webapps” unpackWARs=”false” autoDeploy=”false” deployOnStartup=”false” deployXML=”false”><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Change the false values to true, so it looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<Host name=”localhost” appBase=”webapps” unpackWARs=”true” autoDeploy=”true” deployOnStartup=”true” deployXML=”true”><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve made the change, save and close the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Restart Tomcat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To apply the changes, restart the Tomcat service by running the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/scripts\/ea-podman restart ea-tomcat101.username.02<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Upon restarting, your .war file will automatically deploy into the webapps folder, and a directory named ROOT will be created for your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Configure Apache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Next, log into your server via SSH as the root user and modify the Apache configuration file located at \/usr\/local\/apache\/conf\/httpd.conf. Search for the domain example.com and uncomment the following lines in the virtual host entries for ports 81 and 444:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Include \"\/etc\/apache2\/conf.d\/userdata\/std\/2_4\/username\/example.com\/*.conf\"\nInclude \"\/etc\/apache2\/conf.d\/userdata\/ssl\/2_4\/username\/example.com\/*.conf\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve made these changes, save the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Create Necessary Directories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now, as the root user, create the following directories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mkdir -p \/etc\/apache2\/conf.d\/userdata\/std\/2_4\/username\/example.com\nmkdir -p \/etc\/apache2\/conf.d\/userdata\/ssl\/2_4\/username\/example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 7: Add Proxy Configuration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Inside both of the newly created directories, create a file named proxy.conf and add the following code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<IfModule proxy_ajp_module>\n    ProxyPass \"\/\" \"ajp:\/\/127.0.0.1:10003\/\"\n<\/IfModule><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To determine the correct port, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
podman ps<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 8: Restart Apache<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Finally, restart Apache to apply all your changes by running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl restart httpd<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Your Tomcat application should now be successfully deployed and accessible on your cPanel server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
