The following instructions describe how to install multiple Jamf Pro web applications on a Linux server. These instructions apply to both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu.

Note:

For reference, you may find the installation instructions for a single Jamf Pro context helpful. For more information, see the following section of this guide for your platform:

On the Linux server, if needed, copy the ROOT.war file to the Linux server with a command like:
```
scp ~/Desktop/ROOT.war serveradmin@192.168.56.101:/tmp/
```
Manually install Tomcat. For instructions, see step 2 of the manual installation instructions for your platform:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux: Step 2: Installing Tomcat
- Ubuntu: Step 2: Installing Tomcat
Use the desired name for the context to copy the ROOT.war file from /tmp/ into the Tomcat webapps directory:
```
sudo cp /tmp/ROOT.war /opt/tomcat/webapps/contextone.war
```
Open the DataBase.xml file with a text editor by executing the following command:
```
sudo nano -Bc /opt/tomcat//webapps/contextone/WEB-INF/xml/DataBase.xml
```

Edit the file to match the MySQL account you created earlier:

<DataBaseName>databaseone</DataBaseName>
<DataBaseUser>usernameone</DataBaseUser>
<DataBasePassword>passwordone</DataBasePassword>

Open the log4j2.xml file with a text editor by executing the following command:
```
sudo nano -Bc /opt/tomcat/webapps/contextone/WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml
```
Locate each of the (3) instances of the following path:
```
/Library/JSS/Logs/
```
Modify the target file path for each of the logs so they read as follows:
Note:
Change contextone in the paths below to match the context name from step 2.
```
/opt/tomcat/logs/contextone/JAMFChangeManagement.log
/opt/tomcat/logs/contextone/JAMFSoftwareServer.log
0/opt/tomcat/logs/contextone/JSSAccess.log
```
Restart Tomcat by executing the following command:
```
sudo service tomcat restart
```
Browse to http://192.168.56.101:9006/contextone to verify the installation.
