Re: Best Practice to Upgrade Apache Tomcat from 9.0.56 to 9.0.74

2023-05-18 Thread Meltron Kendrick 
Mark,

Points noted.  Thank you good sir.

I will try the weird path -- just to see if it solves the problem.  I am
investigating how it became like this.  I inherited this task.

Overall I absolutely concur with going with the an Official Tomcat release.

I want to bring over any / all customized configuration files.

Great share!

Re: Best Practice to Upgrade Apache Tomcat from 9.0.56 to 9.0.74

2023-05-18 Thread Mark Thomas 



18 May 2023 06:06:04 Meltron Kendrick :


I created a "jar" file using WinRAR -- but no go ---

Got the following error message...

"Error: Could not find or load main class
org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo"

Any ideas on HOW TO properly do this?


Start with an official Tomcat release that doesn't have this problem. If 
the version numbers are broken, what else is?


If you really want to continue down this path, then don't try editing the 
JAR. Rather, override the resource.


Under $CATALINA_HOME/lib create the directory structure 
org/apache/catalina/util and then extract ServerInfo.properties to that 
directory. Edit the file. Start Tomcat. Tomcat will use the extracted 
file in preference to the one in the JAR.

I am currently focused on MINOR upgrades.

I will commence a different thread when I raise the question for MAJOR
upgrades --- say from 9.x to 10.x  -- or 9.x to 11.x

IF someone can point me to a great resource...
That would be tremendously helpful and truly appreciated.


Apache Tomcat home > Documentation has a Migration Guide 
(https://tomcat.apache.org/migration.html), see subsection "For upgrading between 9.0.x 
versions, ..."

Generally speaking, if you prepare your deployment according to RUNNING.txt (see Tomcat 
distribution) sub-section "Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances", 
the patch update can be fairly painless - all it takes is replacing CATALINA_HOME/bin and 
CATALINA_HOME/lib with the contents of the Tomcat update.


I wouldn't even do that. Instead, I would unpack the distro to a new 
directory and change CATALINA_HOME to point to the new one. Rolling-back 
is easy.

Re: Best Practice to Upgrade Apache Tomcat from 9.0.56 to 9.0.74

2023-05-12 Thread Evan Rempel 
We make official install packages out of each release and then use the 
OS package management to do an "official" installation upgrade. This 
allows for rollback/downgrade in the event of an issue and allows us to 
easily repeat this on the 120+ tomcat servers that we run.

Not sure if anyone cares or not but this is how I handle...

Unpack Tomcat to /opt/Apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-
Create a link for the instance: /opt/Apache/tomcat/current ->
/opt/Apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-

This effectively does the same thing as described below except instead of
copying binary content you just need to copy over the relevant configuration
from the old to the new. Works for my purposes anyway.

How are you configured? Is your CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE Identical, or 
do you have the binaries separated from the configuration (Different 
CATALINA_BASE directory)?
