Regarding tomcat85 and .WAR file

[Inwin1]

Hello!

For a couple of days ago I purchased a VPS by Namecheap, as I have been building a java spring boot web application and bought it with CPanel. In have been having quite some issues figuring out how to host my web application, as I have little knowledge with VPS, WHM etc. After searching a couple of days, and trying out stuff I stumbled upon this: Tutorial - Installation and configuration of ea-Tomcat85 which helped me a lot.

I got it working almost, the thing now is that my .WAR file wont load in the browser. I have tried using a test.jsp in the webapps/ROOT folder, and when I search mydomain.com/test.jsp it works, but when I try to load in my .WAR file in the ROOT folder, and search mydomain.com/<warfilename>/, I just get a white page that says "HTTP Status 404 - Not Found". I have also tried removing the ROOT folder, renaming the .WAR file to ROOT.war and trying to access that, and it still didn´t work.

So then I though something might be wrong with my .WAR file, so I tried downloading an example .war file from here: Sample Application and uploading it the way I explained above. It still didn´t work.

The thing I am wondering about is, how do I get the .WAR file working when I search it up, like above? I got the .jsp files working, but not the .WAR files working, and I am really clueless on how to fix this.

I hope this is something you guys can help me with, as I have struggled a really long time without any good answers on the internet.

Best regards

Hello @Inwin1

Thank you for contacting cPanel!

Please refer to the instructions on the following page for deploying a WAR package with Tomcat:

https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/web-services/how-to-deploy-java-applications/

I believe the guide on that page should help you get the application working. If after reviewing and following the guide you continue to experience issues with your application, please update this thread and we will be happy to assist you further.

Best regards.

Hello! I have actually tried that before, but I am running EasyApache4 and the article didnt work for me, but thanks for the help! I tried figuring the problem a bit myself yesterday, and tried uninstalling tomcat85 through WHM -> EasyApache4 -> Customize -> Sliding tomcat85 off in the "addition packages" and running the provision. But now I have an even bigger issue, and that is that I am not able to install tomcat85 back, by turning the slider on and running the provision. I get a "failed" message in the provision process log, and I am not sure what to do now, as I cant install tomcat85 back?

Hope you guys can help me install tomcat85 back, so that I can continue getting my java web application online!

Here is the log:

I'm having the same problem right now. What's wrong? That's exactly what he described.

Hey there, @Sylvester91

Did you try the work in the docs that @cPSamuelM linked? If things aren't working well after that, it might be best to submit a ticket to our team so we can do some additional troubleshooting with that.
