Install Tomcat 8.x in AWS EC2 Instance (Amazon Linux AMI)

You will find as well the configuration of Nginx and PostgreSQL. Special thanks to @caden for the contribution!

Software to install

Java 8
Tomcat 8.x

Check YUM Updates

sudo su
yum list installed
yum update

Install Java 8

yum install java-1.8.0
yum remove java-1.7.0-openjdk

Install Tomcat 8.x

yum install tomcat8 tomcat8-webapps tomcat8-admin-webapps tomcat8-docs-webapp

Start Tomcat Service

service tomcat8 start

Tomcat Paths

1 Edit the tomcat-users file

fuser -v -n tcp 8080

netstat: to list out all the network (socket) connections on a system

netstat -na | grep 8080

sudo chkconfig --list tomcat8
sudo chkconfig tomcat8 on

Install Nginx

yum install nginx

Add Nginx Domain Binding

vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/shenhe.org.conf

server {
    listen       80;
    listen       [::]:80;
    server_name  shenhe.org;
    root         /usr/share/nginx/html;
	location / {
    	proxy_connect_timeout 300;
        proxy_send_timeout 300;
        proxy_read_timeout 300;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
        }
}

You can add more bindings. It’s similar. If you just want nginx to handle static files (like images, javascript, css etc), you just do it like this:

server {
    listen       80;
    listen       [::]:80;
    server_name  static.shenhe.org;
    root         /usr/share/nginx/html;
}

service nginx start

Set Auto Star for Nginx Service

sudo chkconfig --list nginx
sudo chkconfig nginx on
