I was setting up a new VM instance of Guacamole today and thought it
could be useful to update/tidy up the install commands list I wrote up
earlier (for Ubuntu server 18.04.2).
This now includes the necessary detail for a MySQL auth install:
# How-to: Install Guacamole 1.0.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 server (VM)

Ahmed,
This works for me from a bare, brand-new, Ubuntu 18.04 VM, no
update/upgrade.
Note I've not much time right now so have simply got as far as
confirming I can get the initial Guacamole login screen and gone
no further (although I've no reason to assume it won't work as
advertised from there):

Hello,

I seen guacamole for the first time at another company, and I I
was amazed of how beautiful this product is.??

I have been struggling to get it to work on my personal lab for
quite a while, I tried different guides, but never got guacamole
to work past the "HTTP Status 404 - Not Found" when
accessing??http://192.168.159.138:8080/guacamole??
??
Can you please examine my case and guide my on the direction to
get it to work, I have included the terminal history for how I
installed it, nit planning to use ldap, or mysql initially, just
the basic config on the user-mappings.xml, here is the log:
??
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
101 apt-get install guacamole-tomcat (installs tons of packages)
Downloaded guacamole client 1.0.0.war and renamed it to guacamole.war
119 sudo cp guacamole.war /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps
121 sudo cp guacamole.war /usr/share/tomcat8
122 sudo cp guacamole.war /usr/share/tomcat8/webapps
sudo cp guacamole.war /var/lib/guacamole/guacamole.war
132 /etc/init.d/guacd start
133 /etc/init.d/tomcat8 restart
139 sudo mkdir /usr/share/tomcat8/.guacamole
141 sudo cp -s /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties
/usr/share/tomcat8/.guacamole
142 sudo service tomcat8 restart
143 sudo service guacd restart
146 service tomcat8 status??
147 service guacd status??
161 sudo systemctl daemon-reload
162 sudo service tomcat restart && sudo service guacd restart
163 sudo service tomcat8 restart && sudo service guacd restart
??also added??"guacamole.home=/etc/guacamole" yo
/var/lib/tomcat8/conf/catalina.properties
and authorized local account login to user-mappings.xml
Those are logs located at /var/log/tomcat8
