I'm trying to teach myself how to use Java with Pivotal TC server. I have a Cloud9 account where I set up a server with Pivotal TC. I also created a simple Hello World app in Spring Tool Suite and exported it on my desktop as a WAR file.
So I have this WAR file, and I have this server on Cloud9. I've googled where to put it, and I've gotten different results, and none of them have related to my set up.
I have the directory in my server as /opt/pivotal/pivotal-tc-server-standard-3.1.3.SR1/tomcat-8.0.30.C.RELEASE, and inside of that I have a bin and lib folder. Where exactly do I put my WAR file so that my app is correctly placed in my server?
Am I over-simplifying this? Are there other steps that I just skipped? Or do I just need to play the WAR file somewhere? This was my understanding. I'm pretty new to Java so bear with me.
First you need to create instance (like domain) for hosting your app
# lets alias tc-server location to shorten commands
$TC_SERVER=/opt/pivotal/pivotal-tc-server-standard-3.1.3.SR1
$TC_SERVER/tcruntime-instance.sh create myserver
After that new director myserver will appear inside $TC_SERVER (like /opt/pivotal/pivotal-tc-server-standard-3.1.3.SR1/myserver)
Put your war inside $TC_SERVER/myserver/webapps To start the app
cd $TC_SERVER/myserver/bin
./tcruntime-ctl.sh start
