Updating Tomcate Windows Service
Hi,
I have a tomcat 7.0.2 service under W2K8 64bit. I want to update it to
7.0.8. Can I just run the service installer for 7.0.8 again or will this
reset my current configuration?
Thank you

Bad idea. Go through the configs and merge your changes to the old .xml files into the new ones. Blind copying *will* get you in trouble - as many have discovered before you.

OK, so I will save my conf dir and wars, reinstall tomcat and then copy the
conf and wars back to tomcat (and pray that server.xml & Co are still
compatible :)).
