WordPress or plugin need tomcat?

WordPress does not need Tomcat.

All WordPress needs is…

To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things:

  • PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
  • MySQL version 5.0 or greater

Plus adequate RAM– 32MB for a single site, 64MB for Multisite. Many hosts these days provide much, much more than that by default.

I don’t know if there are plugins (or themes) that do, but certainly you can check the Docs for your plugins and find out if any of those need it.
