Where can I find the Tomcat 7 installation folder on Linux AMI in Elastic Beanstalk?

Since late 2012, it is usually under /usr/share/tomcat7.

Prior to that, it was usually found under /opt/tomcat7.


Not sure if this would be helpful. I am using a similar Amazon Linux AMI, which has tomcat7 living under /usr/share/tomcat7.

If tomcat is already running on your machine you can try:

ps -ef | grep tomcat

or

ps -ef | grep java

to check where it's running from.


  • If you want to find the webapp folder, it may be over here:

/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/

  • But you also can type this to find it:

find / -name 'tomcat_version' -type d
