References: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19225-01/ 

Prerequisites

Install Tomcat 6

1. Download the Tomcat 6 here. Select Binary Distributions => Core => tar.gz.

File: apache-tomcat-6.0.41.tar.gz

2. Execute the following command to extract the tar.gz file. A "apache-tomcat-6.0.41" directory is created. The location of that directory is refer to as the TOMCAT_HOME directory. 

tar -xvf apache-tomcat-6.0.41.tar.gz

3. Add the following lines to the top of $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/setclasspath.sh file:

# Location of a JDK
JAVA_HOME=/home/oracle/jdk1.6.0_38 

# Location of your unpacked Tomcat
CATALINA_HOME=/home/oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.41

export JAVA_HOME CATALINA_HOME

4. When configuring Tomcat to support UTF-8, add the URIEncoding="UTF-8" attribute to the connector element in the $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml file, for example:

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" 
               redirectPort="8443"
               URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

5. When configuring Tomcat to support UTF-8, also add -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 in your Java VM options. Add the following line to the top of “$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh”:

export JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"

6. To start the Tomcat server, execute $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh script. To stop the Tomcat server, execute $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh script.
