**Please note - 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: How to Install/Use screen
2) Run the following command:

/scripts/easyapache

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

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

6) Hit the Tab key until '[Next Step]' is highlighted and then hit Enter.

7) Hit the down arrow key until 'Tomcat' is highlighted and then hit the space bar to select it.

9) Hit the Tab key until '[Save and Build]' is highlighted and then hit Enter.

10) Ensure '[Yes]' is highlighted and then hit Enter.

11) Ensure '[I Understand]' is highlighted and then hit Enter.

12) Wait for the recompile to complete (usually takes about an hour).
