Finding out version number of an existing tomcat installation
Dear All, Can anybody tell me of a way to find out what version of jakarta-tomcat is installed on a system? More precisely, I need to know the patchlevel, I know that the installation is 4.1.xx If it helps, I think the installation date was Dec 19 2002 Having obtained this information, where can I then find a tarball of that version? Does jakarta.apache.org keep historical versions, and if not, can anyone point me to a place that does? The reason for these somewhat strange requests is that a developer who has now left my organisation failed to leave behind any documentation for his TomCat installation, and I now need to compare his customised installations to a clean install so that I can write some installation instructions.

The jakarta site typically keeps the latest stable binaries, plus milestone/development/nightly builds. So it's not guaranteed to keep historical versions of all the products. Other sites, such as ones that maintain linux RPMs, may offer such functionality. In any case, you can ask on the list for a specific binary and likely someone has it and can send you a copy. Of course, all the builds are tagged in CVS so if you're comfortable in that space you can rebuild any version of tomcat.

or the quick and dirty way: http://my.tomcat.server/random_gibberish The 404 will contain the server version. Of course, there are way too many reasons why this might not work, but hey...
