-### 2.4 Release Artifacts
-  
+  Assumption: You have downloaded and installed Tomcat 7 correctly for your operation system: see http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html
   
+#### 2.3.1 Environment Variables Check
+
+  Check that the following environment variables exist:
+  - JAVA_HOME ... should point to directory where a 1.6 JDK or JRE is on machine
+  - CATALINA_HOME ... should point to a directory where a Tomcat 7 instance is installed
+
+  Check that the following is on your path:
+  - %JAVA_HOME%\bin;
+
+#### 2.3.2 Logging
+
+  - In the [TOMCAT_HOME]/logs create a file called ```mifos-platform.log```
+
+#### 2.3.3 Libraries
+
+  Ensure the following libraries are in the [TOMCAT_HOME]/lib folder
+  - tomcat-jdbc.jar
+  - mysql-connector-java-5.1.22 (You will need to download latest MySQL Connector/J Jar file from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/)
+
+#### 2.3.4 Configure for SSL
+
+  Generate a new keystore using java keytool (if you havent already done this):
+  - Follow docs to create keystore.(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html#Configuration)
+  - Update server.xml as in docs. (Ther server.xml configuration given in the configure tomcat 7 below is what is need.)
+
+  ```sudo keytool -genkey -alias mifostom -keyalg RSA -keystore /home/ubuntu/.keystore```
+
