Tomcat 5.5 -6.0 Upgrade Question
Hi All,
Does anyone know if I need to uninstall Tomcat 5.5 before I install 6.0 or can I just install on top of it?
Thank you,
Bernard

Please respond to the list.
The .zip contains the server installer script as well.
If you're trying to install Tomcat as a Windows service, (rather than using
the .bat files to start it) you'll need to uninstall the old service
reference before installing the service reference for the new one, or use a
different name.
If you're not installing Tomcat as a service, just do the next bit.
Unzip the download in directory alongside the old one.

But note: if the app contains JSPs and those JSPs were precompiled using
the Jasper Ant task, the app will need to be recompiled to avoid weird

If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry unless you see a
bunch of errors.

Presumably you are asking what you'd have to do in order to get your
webapp deployed under the new install: you just have to deploy it again
on Tomcat 6.0.
Think of them as completely separate, non-overlapping and disconnected
pieces of software. Because they are.

Presumably you are asking what you'd have to do in order to get your
webapp deployed under the new install: you just have to deploy it again
on Tomcat 6.0.
Think of them as completely separate, non-overlapping and disconnected

You can usually just copy it over to the new Tomcat's appBase directory (usually named webapps). As mentioned before, make sure that any <Context> element for it is in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file, not in conf/server.xml, and also remove the path and docBase attributes, if present. (If that makes the <Context> element empty, just delete it.)
Look at the webapps that are distributed with Tomcat for examples.

Umm, probably not such a good idea.
Depending on the OS & download you're using (you didn't say), you can
install the new version alongside the old one.

I'd like to add to the comments of Chuck and Pid:
No matter what you do, do not try to copy your conf/server.xml from your
5.5 install to your 6.0 install. Instead, use the new conf/server.xml as
a guide, and add anything you need.
For our production environment, the only changes we make from the
default conf/server.xml are to configure the shutdown port and the
<Connector>s: everything else stays stock.
If you haven't already done so, move any <Context> configuration you
have out of your conf/server.xml and into your webapp's
META-INF/context.xml. Don't forget to remove any "path" or docBase
attributes you may have on the <Context> element.

You do not need to uninstall prior versions, but you certainly don't want to install on top of an existing version. Always install in a different location, configure the new version, then update scripts as needed to point to the new spot.
(The above presumes you're installing a real Tomcat downloaded from tomcat.apache.org; if you're using a 3rd-party repackaged version, you're on your own.)
