Answer for KodeKloud Question -Install and Configure Tomcat Server

a. Install tomcat server on App Server 3 using yum.

b. Configure it to run on port 8082.

c. There is a ROOT.war file on Jump host at location /tmp. Deploy it on this tomcat server and make sure the webpage works directly on base URL i.e without specifying any sub-directory anything like this http://URL/ROOT .

d. You can access the website on LBR link. To do so click on the + button on top of your terminal, select option Select port to view on Host 1, and after adding port 80 click on Display Port.
