This section documents what I had to do to get it working.<br /> <br /> * Install the &#039;&#039;tomcat6&#039;&#039; packages:<br /> <br /> yum install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin-webapps tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-docs-webapp<br /> <br /> * Edit the &#039;&#039;/etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml&#039;&#039; file and add a account with the &#039;&#039;admin,manager&#039;&#039; roles.<br /> <br /> * Start the &#039;&#039;tomcat6&#039;&#039; service.<br /> <br /> systemctl start tomcat6.service<br /> <br /> At this point the &#039;&#039;tomcat6&#039;&#039; service should be running and you should be able to connect to it using &#039;&#039;http://127.0.0.1:8080/&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> If you see the &#039;&#039;Apache Tomcat&#039;&#039; welcome page, then you should be good to go (maybe you were lucky and the issue described below has already been fixed for you via a yum update).<br /> <br /> If you just see a blank page when connecting to this URL, then you probably have the permissions issue identified at [http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=264340 FedoraForum.org]. Running the following commands (as suggested on the forum page) should fix the permissing and owenership issues:<br /> <br /> chmod g+x /usr/share/tomcat6/logs<br /> chmod g+x /etc/tomcat6<br /> chmod g+x /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/<br /> chmod g+x /usr/share/tomcat6/temp<br /> chmod g+x /usr/share/tomcat6/work<br /> chmod g+x /var/cache/tomcat6<br /> chown -R tomcat:tomcat /etc/tomcat6/Catalina<br /> chmod g+x /var/lib/tomcat6/<br /> <br /> After running the above commands restart the &#039;&#039;tomcat6&#039;&#039; service:<br /> <br /> systemctl restart tomcat6.service</div>
