RE: Upgrade from 5.5.9 to 5.5.20 Help
As this was my first post thanks for your quick reply! I would love to go with the latest version but the software manufacture only certifies 5.5.20 and if there are issues with another version you are on your own. The current installation has been in production for a while now and is working well, so hoping your advice to copy the config files, etc... over will work well. I will give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks!

Thanks in advance, Simon. There's no patch or upgrade methodology. You simply grab the latest version and install it in parallel, then reconfigure as needed. May I suggest that you just upgrade to the latest version (5.5.28)? 5.5.20 seems have been released very late 2007 - there's been substantial work/bugfixes done since then. The config (assuming your original is correct) will be identical, so you should be able to install a new copy from tomcat.apache.org, and pretty much copy paste the contents of your various config files. It is worth noting, however, that writing a fresh config is often a good idea - especially if you've repeatedly carried old configs over from ancient versions. The list will assist if you get stuck with config. p - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Given a) how old 5.5.20 is and b) the number of known security vulnerabilities I'd be asking that manufacturer when they were planning on certifying a recent version.

Remember to read the change log, so you can see if any breaking configuration changes have been made over time. This will happen if you do things like play games with certain characters in URLs (like /) because certain security fixes have changed Tomcat's behavior slightly. I believe every change like this has a configuration option to revert to the legacy behavior if necessary. Just make sure you read the change log and test everything thoroughly. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrCKxEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAwXwCgu19eFnCODzhB24GYaelZK1o8 D58AnRhaZoh7fEVBusL/k7DuQG12pECT =IR7F -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
