First: your DSpace instance needs no changes, no rebuilding. Just copy or move any files related to DSpace that you placed within Tomcat's directory tree, in case of trouble. Make a copy of the Tomcat configuration as well. You don't say whether you are installing Tomcat using the Ubuntu package manager or from source, so all I can say here is "install 8.5". I hardly ever touch Ubuntu systems, so I'm probably not the person to ask about fine details of their package manager. Tomcat 8.5 configuration is very similar to 8.0. If you are proxying through Apache HTTPD, Nginx, or the like, it should be *exactly* similar. If you are not, and you accept HTTPS connections, then you have the option of using the new-style SSL support. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/http.html#SSL_Support The old-style SSL settings (on the Connector element) still work, I'm told, but I like the new style better. Compare the configuration in the newly-upgraded Tomcat to the files that you saved from the old one. There may be no difference. If there is, you can see what to change. Once you have Tomcat set up and running to your satisfaction, you should be able to move or copy the DSpace webapps (or Contexts) back into position. If you are at all unsure, copy rather than move wherever you have a choice. I would expect that you can just leave a copy of the DSpace files where they are now and expect them to work after the upgrade, but (given a different distribution and a DSpace instance that I haven't seen laid out) I'm not confident enough to advise you to rely on that. -- Mark H.
