Not sure if anyone cares or not but this is how I handle... Unpack Tomcat to /opt/Apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-<version> Create a link for the instance: /opt/Apache/tomcat/current -> /opt/Apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-<version>
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. -----Original Message----- From: Andr? van der Lugt <avdl...@outlook.com> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2023 2:49 PM To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Subject: RE: Best Practice to Upgrade Apache Tomcat from 9.0.56 to 9.0.74 Hi Meltron, > -----Original Message----- > From: Meltron Kendrick <meltronkendr...@gmail.com> > Sent: 11 May, 2023 19:09 > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: Best Practice to Upgrade Apache Tomcat from 9.0.56 to 9.0.74 > > I have NOT been able to locate clear HOW TO steps for this. > > 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. And consulting the migration guide for potential breaking changes. Works for me!
