Can someone clear up the "Step 2: Servlet container" part?

[John Doe]

Step 2: Servlet container

Install Apache Tomcat (or another java servlet container) and make sure you can get to the default installation home page. How to install Tomcat or some other servlet container is beyond the scope of these instructions but the basic details can be found in the documentation. Don't be afraid of all those XML configuration files in Tomcat; mostly they can be left to default values.

There is one file you will need to edit and that is context.xml. This file defines all the configuration for your application. Copy the example into the tomcat configuration folder and set all the variables to reasonable choices for your system.

That one file needs to be cleared up where it is and the "example" as well needs to be better documented. I'm stuck on that step of inserting the correct context.xml and where.

So the file is here:

https://github.com/ari/jobsworth/blob/master/config/context.example.xml

Ask us questions about which parts don't make sense.

Where do I put that? I think that is my main question

Im using

tasks.mydomain.com

To Access this

Tomcat is installed at

/opt/tomcat/

Webapp folders is at

/opt/tomcat/webapps

Basically Im stuck there. I know how to use the WAR but...

[Aristedes Maniatis]

Probably /opt/tomcat/config/

Thank you for the quick reply.

I believe I already placed it there once and nothing.....Ill give it another go.

[John Doe]

How much memory is needed?

When I deployed the ROOT.war, it just gives me out of memory errors.

[John Doe]

Also I cannot Access the Apache Tomcat page anymore.

[John Doe]

OK I forced using lower memory and I get this:

I think that's beyond the help we can provide here. You need to get tomcat working and your database adapter correct. After that, the application should be easy enough to deploy.

Tomcat Works. I get the basic Tomcat working image: http://blog.linoxide.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/tomcat.png

But when I put the ROOT.war in the webapps folder, everything goes to hell.

Thats why I wanted to ask what are the memory requirements for this?

[John Doe]

Also Im using this because its basically the latest as stated on your site. Having said that, I have no problem deploying the older ClockingIT if I need to

I run it in 1Gb of ram, but I'm guessing you could go down to 500Mb. I've not really tried to see how much RAM rails uses at a minimum.

[John Doe]

Im trying it on 512mb
