So I manually downloaded tomcat 6.0.33 herehttps://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Setting+up+CloudStack+Development+Environment+on+Linux Then did the following1. extracted 6.0.33 to /usr/share/tomcat6.0.33. 2. Changed symlink of /usr/share/cloudstack-managemet/bin to /usr/share/tomcat6.0.33/bin3. Changed symlink of /usr/share/cloudstack-management/lib to /usr/share/tomcat6.0.33/lib4. Verified cloudstack was running tomcat 6.0.33 by creating a tomcat_version.jsp file in /usr/share/cloudstack-management/webapps/client code for tomcat_version.jsp can be found herehttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/14925073/how-to-find-out-running-tomcat-version I'll definitely let you know how it goes... > Subject: RE: Interesting 4.2.1.
