Where tomcat.conf is located?

Question

I can't find it my tomcat.conf, I have looked in /etc/tomcat6, but it's not there, either in /usr/share/tomcat6.

Where can I find the tomcat.conf in Linux Ubuntu?

Answer 1

There is no means of a tomcat.conf file in a default and plain vanilla Tomcat installation. You however can find several configuration files in the /conf folder. Details/manuals about those can be found at the Apache Tomcat Configuration Reference.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Try:

sudo updatedb
locate tomcat.conf | less

Answer 3

tomcat.conf is a file that the RedHat RPM package of Tomcat installs. See here. It's actually a nice way of managing tomcat config stuff in a file rather than environment variables.

Answer 6

The tomcat-users.xml file is located in the Tomcat install directory of the etc directory.

For instance. From root:

cd /etc/tomcat(ENTER-YOUR-TOMCAT-VERSION-HERE)/tomcat-users.xml

In my system I have Tomcat7 installed so my path was"

/etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml

If you are running Docker container based on alpine all the configuration you can find inside conf.

/usr/local/tomcat/conf
