I had 8.5.41 working and decided to do the upgrade to 8.5.63 today on
Windows Server 2012r2. I've had success with stopping the service,
renaming the tomcat directory, putting the unzipped files of the new
version in its place, and dropping in the server.xml, and web.xml files to
replace the default files. As well, I copy over the webapps folder for the
site, then restart the service. This process has worked many times before.
When I did this today, the service would not start for some reason. So I
renamed the folders back to their original names, and then ran the
uninstall from the add/remove programs. I ran the install executable on
8.5.63, dropped in the webapps folder, and the server.xml and web.xml files
and the service started, but the site never loads, even on localhost.
This is the server.xml I'm using, first configured back in 2017. I could
probably pare it down, but once it started working, I didn't feel like
messing with removing the commented sections. :)
