Installing BellaDati on Tomcat 6.0

This guide describes how to install BellaDati WAR on Tomcat 6.0. Tomcat container can be downloaded from the Apache site.

The BellaDati virtual appliance distribution is BellaDati preconfigured with a copy of GlassFish application server and PostgreSQL database. If you have BellaDati virtual appliance, follow the Installing BellaDati virtual appliance guide instead of the instructions below.

Before You Begin

Please read the following important notes before you begin installing JIRA on Tomcat 6.0:

• Tomcat 6.0.24 contains a critical bug. Please use 6.0.32 instead.
• Deploying multiple BellaDati WAR application in a single Tomcat container is not supported. We do not test this configuration and upgrading any of the applications (even for point releases) is likely to break it.
• Finally, we recommend not deploying any other applications in the same Tomcat container that runs JIRA, especially if these other applications have large memory requirements or require additional libraries in Tomcat's lib subdirectory. There are also a number of practical reasons why we do not support deploying multiple applications in a single Tomcat container. Firstly, you must shut down Tomcat to upgrade any application and secondly, if one application crashes, the other applications running in that Tomcat container will be inaccessible.
