Deploying Spring MVC Project on AWS EC2 using AWS RDS.

The steps to install an AWS project on AWS EC2 are as follows:

1. Launch an EC2 instance, install HTTPD, and start.

2. Install Apache Tomcat on EC2.

3. Install JAVA JDK on EC2.

4. Allow Traffic for the below requests:

   1. Apache Tomcat: 8080

   2. HTTPS -> 443

   3. HTTP -> 80

5. Start Tomcat using the ./startup.sh file.

6. Create AWS RDS and give connection in Project.

7. Run Clean & Build to create {projectname}.war file of the project.

8. Send a file to AWS EC2 using commands.

9. Copy the file to the Tomcat path.

10. Opening a project in a browser using a public IP.

1. Launch the EC2 instance, install HTTPD and Start.

• Create a normal EC2 instance of Amazon Linux OS machine.

• After Launching EC2, connect it through the CLI using below command.

ssh -i {keypairname}.pem ec2-user@{publicip}

• Install HTTPD and start the server.

    - sudo su
    - yum install httpd
    - service httpd start

2. Install Apache Tomcat on EC2.

- wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.91/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.91.tar.gz
- tar xvzf apache-tomcat-9.0.91.tar.gz
- mv apache-tomcat-9.0.91 tomcat

---

3. Install JAVA JDK on EC2.

- yum install java-17-amazon-corretto-devel
- java --version

---

4. Allow Traffic for Requests to server.

• Go to EC2 instances.

• Go to security -> security security groups > Edit Inbound Rules.

• Allow traffic for requests for below ports.

---

5. Start Tomcat using the ./startup.sh file.

Go to the below path using the cd command

cd tomcat
cd bin
./startup.sh

Verify by checking in browser {publicip}:8080.

---

6. Create AWS RDS and give connection in the Project.

• While creating RDS, create a new security group that will allow the MYSQL/AURORA database to connect locally to the MYSQL workbench.

• After successfully creating AWS RDS, you will get the database endpoints from which we can access the database.

• Rename that endpoint with localhost in your project.

---

7. Run Clean & Build to create {projectname}.war file of the project.

• Right-click on the project click clean and build in the project so we will get the .war build file.

• After clicking on clean and build, make sure that the war file is built and created in the local system.

• Check that the war file is created on that path on your local system.

---

8. Send a file to AWS EC2 using commands.

• Rename the file .war file to the normal name

  • Club_Management-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war -> mitaoeclub.war

• 

  Send this file to the AWS instance using the below command.

•       scp -i p1.pem {warfilename}.war ec2-user@{public ip 00.00.00.00}:/home/ec2-user/
  

• 

• Verify the file is sent to AWS or not using the LS command.

•       ls
  

• 

---

9. Copy the file to the Tomcat path.

• Move the file to path -> tomcat/webapps/ using the below command.

•       - cp mitaoeclub.war tomcat/webapps/
  

• Verify the path file is copied to the path or not using the following command:

•       - cd tomcat
        - cd webapps
  

• 

---

10. Opening a project in a browser using a public IP.

• Start the project in the browser using the below command:

•       - http://{00.00.00.00}:8080/{warfilename}
  

• 

  Verify the database is connected by logging in to the project and using it.

---

Summary:

• To install an AWS project on AWS EC2, follow these steps:

• Launch an EC2 instance and install HTTPD.

• Install Apache Tomcat and Java JDK.

• Configure security groups to allow traffic on necessary ports (8080, 443, 80).

• Start Tomcat and verify that it's running. Set up AWS RDS and configure connection details.

• Build the project to generate a.war file, then transfer this file to the EC2 instance using SCP.

• Deploy the.war file to Tomcat, and open the project in the browser using the EC2 public IP and the appropriate port.
