Installation

Install Tomcat as described here: Tomcat

Then open mysqld access to local network because Scarab use the port 3306 instead the socket. The following instructions are extracted from MySQL#Access_MySQL_from_the_local_network

config setprop mysqld LocalNetworkingOnly no
expand-template /etc/my.cnf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld restart

In some circunstances mysqld fail to start. If this is your case, reboot the server.
