Hello Bo, Sounds like you want to ask the Tomcat user mailing-list, instead.
Gruss Bernd -- http://bernd.eckenfels.net ________________________________ Von: Bo <b...@bochen.ch> Gesendet: Donnerstag, Dezember 20, 2018 5:07 AM An: user@commons.apache.org Betreff: user@commons.apache.org I'm trying to migrate a custom app running Tomcat5.5.17 to Tomcat7. This application is installed in its own folder on the root directory of a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit machine. The application itself was originally "installed" via the unzip method, and its tomcat folder is inside of the application folder, which itself is placed in the C:\ root drive. As a test, to confirm I'm doing this right, I go to Apache Tomcat archive pages and download the .zip for Tomcat 5.5.17 ( https://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.17/ ) and unzip it and see if I can do a successful in place migration from the existing version to the exact same version from a clean install etc and it works 100%. During this process I also was able to use WinMerge tool to find all folder and file diffs and comparing the two different tomcat5.5.17 folders side by side to see exactly what values and lines changed from the fresh install to the already installed version... I will include a short summary of all said relevant and pertinent edits/changes at the end of this message. Long story short, next I'm trying to migrate from Tomcat 5.5.17 to Tomcat7. I see that the officially supported route is two paths, migrating/updating 1 level at a time, from Tomcat5.5 to Tomcat 6 and then from Tomcat6 to Tomcat7. There doesn't seem to be a single migration instruction or guide to go from directly Tomcat5.5 to Tomcat7. In any case, its logical enough that I can combine or merge all the changes from 5.5 to 6 and 6 to 7 to be able to infer what is the total effective elements of change needed to do the successful upgrading from version 5.5.17 to version 7. see http://tomcat.apache.org/migration-6.html http://tomcat.apache.org/migration-7.html So I first download Tomcat7 the zip file from here : http://mirror.olnevhost.net/pub/apache/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.92/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.92-windows-x86.zip Then I unzip it and put it in my application directory, after first renaming and backing up the existing old tomcat folder etc... I use the service.bat to install the service for tomcat7, and confirm that it starts, I can see the status page just fine... so I proceed to install the custom application. I do step by step, initially just copying over the application folder in the webapps from the tomcat5 to tomcat7 folder, then I restart the tomcat7 service, sign back in to the status page, and I see the application is now listed under the List Applications section. I try to run/start it but of course it won't run or start yet giving error of : "FAIL - Application at context path /qms could not be started" I realize some major structural changes occured from version 5.5 to version 6, namely detailed here about the merging and consolidation of some directories and especially related to lib folders into a single \tomcat\lib folder in version 6 and version 7. So I copy/paste and transplant all the stuff in \common\endorsed and \common\lib and \shared\lib to the right locations in the tomcat7 and I follow that with updating the tomcat-users.xml in conf Then I restart the tomcat7 service, and go back to the status page to start up my custom application but instead of getting a "FAIL - Application at context path /qms could not be started" error message, I'm now getting a new error message that states: Description The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists. Apache Tomcat/7.0.92 I googled around and people advised that need to use Eclipse tool to help, but my server doesn't have it installed, the application was originally never built with it, never used it and didn't come with it, plus furthermore it doesn't appear some of the solutions are relevant to the issue that I'm facing... What can I do to get this to work on tomcat7? \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ diff changes from tomcat.initialoriginal to tomcat5517zip in C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\bin jmx.jar LEFT SIDE ONLY ===== In C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\bin\service.bat LINE 103 "%EXECUTABLE%" //US//%SERVICE_NAME% --JvmOptions "-Dcatalina.base=%CATALINA_BASE%;-Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME%;-Djava.endorsed.dirs=%CATALINA_HOME%\common\endorsed -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9000 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false" --StartMode jvm --StopMode jvm vs "%EXECUTABLE%" //US//%SERVICE_NAME% --JvmOptions "-Dcatalina.base=%CATALINA_BASE%;-Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME%;-Djava.endorsed.dirs=%CATALINA_HOME%\common\endorsed" --StartMode jvm --StopMode jvm LINE 108 "%EXECUTABLE%" //US//%SERVICE_NAME% ++JvmOptions "-Djava.io.tmpdir=%CATALINA_BASE%\temp" --JvmMs 1620 --JvmMx 1620 vs "%EXECUTABLE%" //US//%SERVICE_NAME% ++JvmOptions "-Djava.io.tmpdir=%CATALINA_BASE%\temp" --JvmMs 128 --JvmMx 256 ===== in C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\common\endorsed exists serializer.jar xalan.jar xercesImpl.jar xml-apis.jar xmlParserAPIs.jar in C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\common\lib exxists activation.jar commons-codec.jar commons-httpclient.jar jdbc2_0-stdext.jar jta.jar mail.jar ===== in C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\conf exists Saved tomcat-users.xml server.xml.bak ===== C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\conf\server.xml LINE 76 to 70 <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 80 --> <Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="500" minSpareThreads="50" maxSpareThreads="125" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="500" vs <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --> <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" LINE 341 this section is NOT commented out <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/> LINE 363 this section is new data <!--<Host name="lonestar.intelliun.net" debug="4" appBase="webapps" autoDeploy="false" > <Context path="" docBase="qms" reloadable="true" debug="4" /> </Host>--> ///////////////////////// in C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\shared\lib exists activation.jar alk.jar HTMLParser.jar jcommon-1.0.0-rc1.jar jfreechart-1.0.0-rc1.jar jta.jar kawa-1.7.90.jar ldap.jar mail.jar microstar.jar naming-factory-dbcp.jar pcmiler-city-latlong.jar pdf.jar veserver.jar vewsf.jar w3c.jar webdav-servlet.jar xml.jar ////////////////////// in C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\webapps exists C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\webapps\mantis C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\webapps\qms C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\webapps\ve ///////// in C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\work exists C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\work\Catalina in C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\work exists C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\veindex C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\weblogs ////// in C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\ exists C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\veindex C:\VE4_0\tomcat.initialoriginal\weblogs
