Apache Tomcat
Included in the Magnolia bundle, Apache Tomcat application server provides an environment where the Magnolia application is executed.
To install Tomcat:
-
Go to Apache Tomcat and download Tomcat.
We recommend you use the latest version of Tomcat 9 and a supported Java version. See Certified stack too. -
Extract the ZIP file in the directory where you want to install Tomcat. These instructions assume you chose

To verify installation:
-
Open Command Prompt.
-
Go to the Tomcat installation directory.
cd C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-9.0.8

Start Tomcat.
bin\startup.bat
