I'm trying to install tomcat 7 on Ubuntu Server 12.04 with:



sudo apt-get install tomcat7


I tried to do this according this install tutorial, but immediately I receive this answer:



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package tomcat7 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'tomcat7' has no installation candidate


Update:



I tried to download & install tomcat7 step by step as this tutorial.
But when I try to run program



`$ ./catalina.sh run` 


I catch few warnings + SEVERE: Cannot start server. Server instance is not configured:

tomcat7 package is only available on security repositories, universe section for precise, saucy to wily is available in the main repository, and newer in the universe repository. So, make sure you have in your /etc/apt/sources.list the following line:


 deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main universe

The line don't have to be exact, it could include multiverse and restricted, but it should include all the elements above. If the line was not present in the source.list file, add it and run apt-get update. Now you should have tomcat7 available.

If you don't find the source.list file



  1. Execute:


    sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list



  2. then paste into the file:


    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main universe

I have installed tomcat6


Then you must delete tomcat6 of your system, before trying to install tomcat7
