Installation of Tomcat and adding JSP support for a domain on a cpanel server

This post was created few years ago. And it’s for EasyApache3. 

Apache Tomcat (also known as Tomcat) is an open-source implementation of Java Servlets and JavaServer pages. Tomcat uses a self-contained HTTP server to provide support for Java web applications.

How to install Tomcat on cpanel?

You can install/enable the tomcat module from the command line by executing easyapache (/scripts/easyapache). Make sure that you have taken a backup of apache and php configuration file before starting the easyapache process.
