I don't mean to belabor the point, but upgrading from Tomcat 5.5 to 6.0 should have been this easy: 0. Stop Tomcat 5.5 1. Install Tomcat 6.0 2. Copy yourapp.war from Tomcat 5.5\webapps -> Tomcat 6.0\webapps 3. Start Tomcat 6.0 Here are some potential things you'd have to change: 1. Copy JDBC library from Tomcat 5.5\common\lib into Tomcat 6.0\lib 2. <Connector> port numbers in Tomcat 6.0\conf\server.xml 3. Cluster configuration in server.xml 4. Global environment entries in server.xml Everything else should work just fine. Note that a lot of stuff from Tomcat 5.5's server.xml isn't compatible with Tomcat 6.0 because class names have changed, etc. so you can't simply copy your old server.xml into your Tomcat 6.0 deployment and expect everything to work. If you hadn't already moved your <Context> elements from server.xml into your webapp, then you'd have to do that, too. Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuWvGYACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBnsgCdGALly5ksXgRtkZzZCgU1CJUs h0EAn2GNNW7j8JEl4Soq6/Kwhgw/xi0H =VaEE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
