Re: How to Upgrade Tomcat
Hi All,
Need guidance or help I order to upgrade the current tomcat version on the
server to later version where I have already deployed an application on
windows server and do not want to loss any data.
Current version of tomcat : 8.5.23
Need to upgrade to either : 8.5.73 or 9.0.54

Re: How to Upgrade Tomcat
Posted by Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net>.
Rakesh,
First: please don't hijack threads (you replied to a thread called "How
to *properly* create and use a CATALINA_BASE installation")
Second: it's ironic that you replied to this particular thread, because
one of my recommendations is to always run with CATALINA_HOME and
CATALINA_BASE separate, because it makes upgrades (and downgrades, if
necessary) quite a bit easier.
I'd have a look here for some more information:
https://people.apache.org/~schultz/presentations/ApacheCon%20NA%202020/Splitting%20Your%20Tomcat%20Installation.pdf

I would recommend to upgrade to 8.5.73 and not go to Tomcat 9.0.x quite
yet. The upgrade from 8.5.23 -> 8.5.73 should have very few surprises,
but you should definitely read this before doing anything:
http://tomcat.apache.org/migration-85.html#Upgrading_8.5.x
If you have questions, please start a new post to
users@tomcat.apache.org with a new subject.
