I built a JSP/glassfish/derby db web app locally using netbeans. So now I want to deploy it to the web. I have signed up for an unmanaged VPS through A2.
I realize I may be in over my head a little bit here but I have basic linux experience and I have set up tomcat before locally. When I go to my domain I get a 502 bad gateway error. The technical support at A2 is not very technical, and little help.
I'm pretty sure I have tomcat7 setup correctly and my webapp deployed. It listens to port 8080. My question is: is tomcat enough ? Or do I really need to install something else in order to have my remote site function properly ?
I am only vaguely aware of the difference between Tomcat and Apache. The remote host is Ubuntu and is completely bare bone so I am working on setting everything up. Any advice or additional steps I should follow ? Anything will help.
