Upgrading tomcat 5 on Windows

Hi All, I have Tomcat 5.0.18 running on one machine with a number of configured webapps. If I install the 5.0.25 over the top will all the configuration files stay or should I back them up? Tim - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMA

Re: Upgrading Tomcat 5

Tim, For config files what about having Tomcat use variable constructions like we see in Ant scripts: $catalina.home, rather than fixed paths. Then Tomcat could write out server.xml with constructions like configFile="$catalina.home/conf/Catalina/www.vhost.com/ROOT.xml". This would make upgradi

Re: Upgrading Tomcat 5

I haven't played (much) with the new deployer functionality yet. So I am unfamiliar with the minor details (and issues) of the path based dependencies. Running a script on config files is not a big deal for an upgrade. Most commercial software probably does that with (or without) our acknowledge

I don't think it is. But it might be as easy as: X=/usr/local/tomcat-5.0.3/conf/Catalina/www.vhost.com Y=/usr/local/tomcat-5.0.4/conf/Catalina/www.vhost.com cp -r $X $Y perl -pi -e "s|$X|$Y|" $Y/*.xml -Tim Gerry Reno wrote: One problem that I see with copying the conf/Catalina tree and these .x

Upgrading Tomcat 5

Since Tomcat 5 will be removing vhost contexts from server.xml and writing them out to conf/Catalina//.xml what will be the procedure for upgrading Tomcat 5? Right now under Tomcat 4, I install a new version, change my CATALINA_HOME, move my webapps to the new version and move all my vhost
