Please note that web adoptor is not essential for single-machine deployment.
Portal, after it is installed, is not accessible from public IP in AWS. Hence, installing Web Adaptor is necessary to make it accessible from public IP.
This installation guide refers Setup program but it doesn't exist in AWS Marketplace image. You can find /arcgis/webadaptor10.7.1/.Setup directory though.
System requirements say that Tomcat 9.0.19 but Ubuntu installs Tomcat 9.0.16 via apt.
Step-by-step guide
- apt-get install tomcat9
- cd /arcgis/webadaptor10.7.1/java
- ./init_webadaptor.sh
- cd /arcgis/webadaptor10.7.1/java/tools
- ./configurewebadaptor.sh -m portal -w (arcgis server URL) -g (URL) -u siteadmin -p password
Tomcat9 doesn't accept connection from private EC2 IP and 127.0.0.1 if port 80 is used. |
