wget can't download apache tomcat 8

Question

I am trying to install Apache Tomcat 8 through these instructions: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-centos-7

I am using centos 7.2 on a virtual machine.

When i run the command wget http://mirror.sdunix.com/apache/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.0.23/bin/apache-tomcat-8.0.23.tar.gz i get this every time:

Resolving mirror.sdunix.com (mirror.sdunix.com)... 74.206.97.82 Connecting to mirror.sdunix.com (mirror.sdunix.com)|74.206.97.82|:80... failed: Connection timed out. Retrying.

Solution

You get this error probably because this mirror is not responding anymore, try this:

wget http://www-us.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.0.38/bin/apache-tomcat-8.0.38.tar.gz

Or if you need the exact same version, try this:

wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.0.23/bin/apache-tomcat-8.0.23.tar.gz
