How can you configure the Linux Server to use the 'Asia/Kolkata' timezone

 

Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL 9), how can you configure the system to use the 'Asia/Kolkata' timezone?


"In RHEL 9, set the timezone to 'Asia/Kolkata' using timedatectl. First, find the timezone with timedatectl list-timezones | grep Asia/Kolkata. Then, execute sudo timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Kolkata. This updates the system's timezone, taking effect immediately and persisting after reboots. timedatectl replaces older commands, offering a straightforward method for time management in Linux environments."


[root@DockerServer ~]# timedatectl
               Local time: Thu 2025-09-11 06:05:30 EDT
           Universal time: Thu 2025-09-11 10:05:30 UTC
                 RTC time: Thu 2025-09-11 10:05:30
                Time zone: America/New_York (EDT, -0400)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

[root@DockerServer ~]# timedatectl list-timezones | grep -i Asia/Kolkata

rgupta99@LIN-5CG2217BB4 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/Raj/hello-world-1/webapp/src/main/webapp (master)
$ vi index.jsp


3.  Check the git status

rgupta99@LIN-5CG2217BB4 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/Raj/hello-world-1/webapp/src/main/webapp (master)
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   index.jsp

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

4.  Add all changes to local repo

rgupta99@LIN-5CG2217BB4 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/Raj/hello-world-1/webapp/src/main/webapp (master)
$ git add .

rgupta99@LIN-5CG2217BB4 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/Raj/hello-world-1/webapp/src/main/webapp (master)

  (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
        modified:   index.jsp



5. Saves changes to the local repository with a message.:-


rgupta99@LIN-5CG2217BB4 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/Raj/hello-world-1/webapp/src/main/webapp (master)
$ git commit -m "Updated the index file"
[master b81dd6a] Updated the index file
 Committer: Gupta <raj.f.gupta@capgemini.com>

on your username and hostname. Please check that they are accurate.
You can suppress this message by setting them explicitly. Run the
following command and follow the instructions in your editor to edit
your configuration file:

    git config --global --edit

After doing this, you may fix the identity used for this commit with:

    git commit --amend --reset-author

 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

rgupta99@LIN-5CG2217BB4 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/Raj/hello-world-1/webapp/src/main/webapp (master)
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

nothing to commit, working tree clean


6. Commit to remote repo it will open browser to  validate with your GitHub account after verification it will merge the code:-


rgupta99@LIN-5CG2217BB4 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/Raj/hello-world-1/webapp/src/main/webapp (master)
$ git push origin master

  1. Jenkins should need access to the tomcat server to deploy build artifacts. setup credentials to enable this process. use credentials option on Jenkins home page.
  • setup credentials
    • credentials > jenkins > Global credentials > add credentials
      • Username : deployer
      • Password : deployer

Tomcat Server installation on EC2 instance to run Java App


Install Apache Tomcat , You must have EC2 server with JAVA install on that:-


[root@WebServer ~]# cd /opt/

[root@WebServer opt]# yum install wget

[root@WebServer opt]# wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.109/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.109.tar.gz

[root@WebServer opt]# tar -xvzf apache-tomcat-9.0.109.tar.gz

[root@WebServer opt]# mv apache-tomcat-9.0.109 tomcat

give executing permissions to startup.sh and shutdown.sh which are under bin.

chmod +x /opt/apache-tomcat-<version>/bin/startup.sh 
chmod +x /opt/apache-tomcat-<version>/bin/shutdown.sh

create link files for tomcat startup.sh and shutdown.sh

ln -s /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh /usr/local/bin/tomcatup
ln -s /opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh /usr/local/bin/tomcatdown


Add /usr/local/bin to your $PATH (if missing)


Check your current $PATH:

echo $PATH

If /usr/local/bin is missing, add it temporarily:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

To make it permanent for root, add the line to /root/.bashrc or /root/.bash_profile:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin' >> /root/.bashrc
source /root/.bashrc

=======================================

[root@WebServer tomcat]# find / -name context.xml

/opt/tomcat/conf/context.xml

/opt/tomcat/webapps/docs/META-INF/context.xml

/opt/tomcat/webapps/examples/META-INF/context.xml

/opt/tomcat/webapps/host-manager/META-INF/context.xml

/opt/tomcat/webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml

[root@WebServer tomcat]# vi /opt/tomcat/webapps/host-manager/META-INF/context.xml

[root@WebServer tomcat]# vi /opt/tomcat/webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml



And comment below line in both files by adding

<!-- and at end -->






Add below line in this file at the end:- 

[root@WebServer tomcat]# vi /opt/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml


 <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
 <role rolename="manager-script"/>
 <role rolename="manager-jmx"/>
 <role rolename="manager-status"/>
 <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui, manager-script, manager-jmx, manager-status"/>
 <user username="deployer" password="deployer" roles="manager-script"/>
 <user username="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="manager-gui"/>



Now access by using public ip and port 8080 after stopping and starting tomcat server by using below command:-

tomcatdown

tomcatup






Using unique ports for each application is a best practice in an environment. But tomcat and Jenkins runs on ports number 8080. Hence lets change tomcat port number to 8090. Change port number in conf/server.xml file under tomcat home


cd /opt/apache-tomcat-<version>/conf
# update port number in the "connecter port" field in server.xml
# restart tomcat after configuration update
tomcatdown
tomcatup
