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's WHM as root.

[2] Click on 'EasyApache (Apache Update)' which is under the 'Software' section.

[3] Ensure 'Previously Saved Config (** DEFAULT **)' is selected.

[4] Click the button.

[5] On the 'Apache Version' page, click the button.

[6] On the 'PHP Version' page, click the button.

[7] On the 'Short Options List' page, check the box next to 'Tomcat'.

[8] Click the button.

[9] Click the button.

[10] Click the button.

[11] Wait for the recompile to complete. (usually takes about an hour)
