Hi to all,
I’m planning install Tomcat on Windows 2008 Standar R2, so the first question
is: Is supported Tomcat 8.5 into Windows 2008 Estándar R2? Or Where I can to
check the Compatibility Matrix about it?
I respectfully suggest that you read this first, just to give you the correct
perpective :
https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Windows#Q11
So the response basically boils down to : it is not Tomcat (any version) which needs to be
compatible with the platform on which you want to run it (any Windows, Linux, Unix, AIX
etc..). It is the JVM which runs Tomcat that you should look at.
And to find out which JVM version you need, you should have a look at :
http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html
which tells you, in function of the Tomcat version which you want ro run, which minimum
Java JVM version you need, and vice-versa.
Second question: On the same Server, I have TrendMicro Antivirus 9.0 SP3 and
it have own Apache 2.2 Service Windows, so can I install my new Tomcat 8.5 into
the same server without any conflict with the Apache Service of the Antivirus?
That is difficult to answer without more specifics (and even with specifics, we probably
would still not know because, hey, we are tomcat people here, not Windows or antivirus
specialists).
Usually, conflicts occur when 2 programs try to open the same TCP "server" port.
In the standard out-of-the-box configuration, Tomcat will try to obtain and open TCP ports
8005, 8080, 8443, and perhaps 8009.
The easiest way to check in advance is, after downloading tomcat, looking at the file
"server.xml" that is in the Tomcat sub-directory "conf".
Search in that file for every non-commented-out "port=" or "Port=". These are the ones
Tomcat needs.
On your Windows system, prior to installing tomcat, you can verify if any other program
already uses any of these ports, using the command : netstat. (netstat -h for help).
A virus scanner may interfere with the smooth running of tomcat (or make it very slow), if
it is configured in such a way as to "filter" any I/O access that tomcat needs in order to
work. You need to look at the documentation of the specific anti-virus, and find out how
you can best avoid such interference.
If you have read the recommended pages previously, then you now know that tomcatX.exe runs
the JVM which runs tomcat. These are all server programs, so they should not have the same
rules as for user-level programs on a workstation. (The applications that you will run
under tomcat are another matter, but there is nothing we can say about those).
Thanks in advanced for your responses.
