I don't believe Tomcat's Microsoft Windows installer does "upgrades". I don't run on Microsoft Windows, but this procedure should generally get you going: 0. Shut-down your old Tomcat instance. 1. Install the new version of Tomcat into a separate directory from the old one, and have the installer install the service for you. 2. Copy your webapps from old_tomcat\webapps\* to new_tomcat\webapps. Copy any old_tomcat\conf\[service]\[host]\*.xml files to new_tomcat\conf\[service]\[host]. 3. If this really is a point-release change, you can probably get away with copying conf/server.xml, conf/catalina.policy, conf/logging.properties, and anything else you need from the conf directory into new_tomcat\conf. You may consider starting over with a new server.xml and merging-in any changes from the old one ... typically you should only be configuring <Connector>s and any clustering you need in server.xml: all webapps should have been taken care of in step #2. 4. Copy any custom libraries that you put into old_tomcat\lib to new_tomcat\lib. This would be where your JDBC driver usually lives and maybe other shared libraries. 5. Start the newly-installed service and check everything out. Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuwsucACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAusACfaY1oL5d8KJgYxPPSITrdIYkx yREAn32JGxwiYjFTt7ltgnXs41eGFFeR =M+yb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
