∟Start/Stop Tomcat Server on macOS

This section provides a tutorial example on how to start and stop Tomcat server on my local macOS system.

After installing the Tomcat server on my local macOS system, I need to learn how to properly start and stop the Tomcat as a Web server.

1. Run the startup.sh script to start the Tomcat Java EE application server: 

herong$ /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/bin/startup.sh

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/temp
Using JRE_HOME:  /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.jdk/Contents/Home
Using CLASSPATH: /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/bin/bootstrap.jar \
                 :/Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

2. Visit Tomcat server with this URL: http://localhost:8080. You should see the Tomcat default Webpage with the version number like "Apache Tomcat/9.0.26".

3. Verify the "tomcat" background process: 

herong$ ps -e | grep Tomcat
45667 ttys010    0:26.01 \
   /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java \
   -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/conf\
   /logging.properties \
   -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager \
   -Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048 \
   -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=org.apache.catalina.webresources \
   -Dorg.apache.catalina.security.SecurityListener.UMASK=0027 \
   -Dignore.endorsed.dirs= \
   -classpath /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/bin/bootstrap.jar:\
   /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/bin/tomcat-juli.jar \
   -Dcatalina.base=/Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26 \
   -Dcatalina.home=/Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26 \
   -Djava.io.tmpdir=/Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/temp \
   org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start

4. Check server log messages: 

herong$ tail /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/logs/catalina.out
...
Deployment of web app directory [.../webapps/docs] ... in [19] ms
Deployment of web app directory [.../webapps/examples] ... in [264] ms
Deployment of web app directory [.../webapps/host-manager] ... in [42] ms
Deployment of web app directory [.../webapps/manager] ... in [22] ms
Deployment of web app directory [.../webapps/ROOT] ... in [15] ms
Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-nio-8080"]
Starting ProtocolHandler ["ajp-nio-8009"]
Server startup in [7,928] milliseconds

5. Stop Tomcat server: 

herong$ /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/bin/shutdown.sh

As you can see from the log messages, my Tomcat server started correctly and was serving the HTTP protocol on port 8080 by default.
