Apache Tomcat vs XAMPP: What are the differences?
Developers describe Apache Tomcat as "An open source software implementation of the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies". Apache Tomcat powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations. On the other hand, XAMPP is detailed as "*A free and open-source cross-platform web server solution stack package *". It consists mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages.
Apache Tomcat and XAMPP can be primarily classified as "Web Servers" tools.
Apache Tomcat is an open source tool with 3.62K GitHub stars and 2.47K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Apache Tomcat's open source repository on GitHub.
I was in a situation where I have to configure 40 RHEL servers 20 each for Apache HTTP Server and Tomcat server. My task was to 1. configure LVM with required logical volumes, format and mount for HTTP and Tomcat servers accordingly. 2. Install apache and tomcat. 3. Generate and apply selfsigned certs to http server. 4. Modify default ports on Tomcat to different ports. 5. Create users on RHEL for application support team. 6. other administrative tasks like, start, stop and restart HTTP and Tomcat services.
I have utilized the power of ansible for all these tasks, which made it easy and manageable.
