How to install Apache Tomcat using WHM

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.
