      It is important to complete sections: Environment Variables, Shared Libraries, Shared Sessions, Java Heap.  Minimally, the catalina.properties file must contain:

      Tip

      Add compression="force" to the server.xml in the connector like the following:

       

      <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1

      connectionTimeout="20000"

      redirectPort="8443"

      emptySessionPath="true"

      compression="force" />
