This article is for client's with virtual and dedicated servers. Apache Tomcat is not supported on our shared servers. You would need to upgrade to a virtual or dedicated server in order to install/use Apache Tomcat.

Apache Tomcat's installation will require an Apache/PHP recompile on your server. Acenet strongly suggests processing an Apache/PHP recompile during your server's non peak hours. The reason being because an Apache/PHP recompile may cause sporadic performance issues on your server while it's processing and it takes about an hour for the recompile to complete.

[1] Log into your server via SSH as root. Before proceeding with the rest of the install instructions, you may want to consider using screen to recompile Apache/PHP just in case you lose SSH connectivity during the recompile. You can view more details on how to install and use screen here:

/scripts/easyapache

If you have a virtual server with Acenet, you may need to run this command instead:

/scripts/easyapache --skip-xen-broken-xm-check
