Assume that, you are now in C:\Users\ramakrishnak 

1. Place your apache-tomcat-7.0.34.zip here in above location and extract it
Now, you’re here C:\Users\ ramakrishnak \apache-tomcat-7.0.34 

2. Open C:\Users\ ramakrishnak \apache-tomcat-7.0.34\bin\cataline.bat and add the heap as below: 
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1792m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
(or) 
Add below Environment variables: 
JAVA_OPTS = “-Xms512m -Xmx1792m” 
CATALINA_HOME = "C:\Users\ramakrishnak\apache-tomcat-7.0.34"
CATALINA_OPTS = "-Dsling.run.modes=author,stage -Dsling.home=C:\Users\ramakrishnak\apache-tomcat-7.0.34\crx-quickstart -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC"

3. Go to C:\Users\ ramakrishnak \apache-tomcat-7.0.34\conf\server.xml and change Connecter port to 4502 from 8080 (at line no: 70)

    <Connector port="4502" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

               connectionTimeout="20000"

               redirectPort="8443" />

4. Remove ROOT war file from C:\Users\ ramakrishnak \apache-tomcat-7.0.34\webapp

5. Copy cq-quickstart-5.5.0-20120220.war file to C:\Users\ ramakrishnak \apache-tomcat-7.0.34\webapps and rename it to ROOT.war file 

6. Create a crx folder C:\Users\ ramakrishnak \apache-tomcat-7.0.34\crx-quickstart - This is the location of your JCR repository created by CQ/AEM

7. Change param-value at line no: 62 in “C:\Users\ramakrishnak\apache-tomcat-7.0.34\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\web.xml” to new location created in 6^th step. 

   <init-param> 
        <param-name>sling.home</param-name>

        <param-value>C:\Users\ramakrishnak\apache-tomcat-7.0.34\crx-quickstart</param-value>

  </init-param>

8. Finally go to below location in command line C:\Users\ramakrishnak\apache-tomcat-7.0.34\bin and type in following command to start your CQ on Tomcat.

  

Now you can see, your ROOT.war is deployed.

11) Open a browser window and type http://localhost:4502  and it should redirect to http://localhost:8080/system/granite/license/index.html for license information. If you have license.properties get the customer name and license key from file, and enter in the form.
