Hi,
unfortunately the procedures thought had problems.
Just to provide more complete info: the server is an ubuntu server 14.04 and
tomcat is at 7 version.
As suggested:
1. I stopped tomcat
2. I moved the DIR geoserver (within /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps) to a backup
DIR as well as geoserver.war file (the old version 2.3.2)
3. I moved geoserver.war (the new version 2.9.1) in the tomcat container
(with the same ownership and grants)
4. I restarted tomcat
Geoserver doesn't work, the log (catalina.out) report this line for /geoserver:
ott 06, 2016 9:07:38 AM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader
clearReferencesThreads
GRAVE: The web application [/geoserver] appears to have started a thread named
[Timer-13] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory
leak.

INFORMAZIONI: Deploying web application archive
/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/geoserver.war
ott 06, 2016 9:12:20 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext startInternal
GRAVE: Context [/geoserver] startup failed due to previous errors
that are quite general.
What do you think?Any suggestions?

Upgrading existing versions - GeoServer 2.9.x User

The general GeoServer upgrade process is as follows: Back up the current data
directory. This can involve simply copying the directory to an additional place.

Backing up Geoserver's data-directory, doing a clean install, and putting the
directory back (or re-creating the symbolic link if that's how you're doing it)
should be enough. Personally, I typically create an image (snapshot) of the
entire disk before I do upgrades of any kind, but I've never actually needed
that as a fallback, so I'd only recommend it if you're feeling especially
paranoid and it isn't too much effort for you.
