Install Jira on Fedora 14 with Tomcat

To install do the following:

Install Java and Tomcat 6

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel tomcat6 tomcat6-admin-webapps tomcat6-webapps

Open Firewall

/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/service iptables save
service iptables restart

Set Java Path

vi /etc/profile.d/java.sh
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre"
export JAVA_PATH="$JAVA_HOME"
export PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin"
chmod +x /etc/profile.d/java.sh

Start Tomcat 6

service tomcat6 start
chkconfig --add tomcat6

You should now be able to see the Tomcat welcome page at http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your server IP
