Re: Is it possible and how
Hi, sorry for the mistake about the Tomcat, it is 5.4 Thank you for the guidance I will send if I will face any obstacles. Even though, I tried to do migration from old windows and MS SQL to new one but I faced with a lot of error messages and I couldn't complete it. I am thinking to move it to Linux platform, because I am better with Linux and I think Java is more smoother with Linux. Any hint would be appreciated very much.

While that sounds like a big jump (Windows -> Linux, Tomcat 4.x -> 8.x), it shouldn't be a *huge* change. You'll also need a Java upgrade as well, of course (Tomcat 8 requires Java 7 or later; I recommend Java 8). Installing Tomcat on Linux is straightforward: Option a) Use your package-manager to install the "tomcat" package (or whatever it is called in your environment) Option b) Download apache-tomcat-8.x.y.tar.gz from the ASF web site and untar the tarball wherever you want. In this community, we have a slight preference for "Option b" obly because package-managers often move things around in ways we can't always predict or have in our brains. The ASF-issued package always puts files in a predictable place. Once you've installed Java and Tomcat, installing your web application should be as easy as: 1. Drop your application's WAR file (or exploded WAR-like directory) into Tomcat's webapps/ auto-deployment directory 2. Adding any configuration to Tomcat's conf/server.xml you require (usually elements) 3. You may have to adjust (or create, if necessary) your application's META-INF/context.xml file. This is typically where you would configure any resources such as a JDBC connection pool your application may require. Most applications deployed on Tomcat 4 put everything into the server's global configuration, so moving that into application-specific configuration is a Good Idea. 4. Launch Tomcat (and your application, which should auto-deploy) and see if there are any errors. Then, run-through your testing plan to ensure that everything is working. Please note that you cannot copy any of the following files from your old Tomcat installation into the new one: conf/server.xml conf/context.xml conf/web.xml If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post back to this mailing list. The more specific you can make your question, the better help you can get.
