installed to Tomcat in Windows?

  • I have installed the WordPress on my Windows/IIS PC and set a website up. But I suffered a problem when I use some plugins that only Apache supported. I’m wondering if WordPress can run with Tomcat in Windows as a Apache server? Because I have Tomcat installed on my PC.

    I have no idea about Unix/Linux/Apache, only Windows, please give me a guidance. Thanks.

    Tomcat is a Java server. WordPress is a PHP application. You need to install the Apache web server to use WordPress. Apache provides a connector (mod_jk) that will bridge Tomcat and the web server.

    If you use Tomcat, I’m assuming you know how to install and configure Windows applications. You can find Windows builds of the Apache web server here:

    Also be aware that WordPress requires MySQL. If you do not have it installed, you can find it here:

    You will also need PHP, which can be found here:

    Alternately, you can install the Apache/MySQL/PHP stack (on Windows known as WAMP) using custom applications such XAMPP or UniformServer. They are “training wheels” versions of a WAMP stack and do not offer the power or flexibility of an individual-component installation — which you may require to get mod_jk working.
