Confirm the proper installation of Tomcat

If you have any question about whether Tomcat was installed successfully, you can verify it by opening the Tomcat Administration Console and confirming that the application is running.

Carefully examine your specific installation and any unique Tomcat configurations.

To confirm the proper installation of Tomcat:

  1. If you are using reverse proxy, directly access the machine where IXIA CCMS Web is installed.
    When you use a reverse proxy, access to Tomcat Administration Console is only available from the local machine.
  2. Type the following URL in the browser:
    http://[CCMS Web host name]:[TOMCAT_HTTP_PORT]

    Where [CCMS Web host name] is the name of the machine where you installed the Tomcat server and TOMCAT_HTTP_PORT is the value you specified in the properties.txt file for that parameter.

    For example, if you are accessing Tomcat from the local machine, the URL is http://localhost:8080.

  3. Enter the service user name and password you configured for the Tomcat Server.
    Tip: The service user name and password are configured as the TOMCAT_USER and TOMCAT_PASSWORD in the properties.txt file, which is in the location where you extracted the package.
  4. Click the Manager App button.
  5. Locate the IXIA CCMS Web application and verify if it is running.
    In the Applications table, look in the Path column for ixiasoft-ccms. In the same row under the Running column, you should see "true" if the Tomcat server was installed successfully.
You confirmed the proper installation of Tomcat. Proceed to the next step.
