[cobalt-developers] Upgrading Jakarta-Tomcat

["O-S Inc. Support" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To anyone interested,
	We recently upgraded the Jakarta-Tomcat that comes with the 
Java_Dev_Kit_Doc_v1.3, version 3.2.1 to 3.2.3.  So far so good.  At the 
moment we are still using the cobalt perl scripts that came with the kit.

	So with that said, all we had to do was untar the new Jakarta-Tomcat in 
the dir that the current version was in.  If you have not tweaked out 
the install this will be the /usr/java dir.  You will notice a symbolic 
link that point jakarta-tomcat to jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1.  To begin with 
change that symbolic link to point to the new Jakarta-Tomcat dir which 
should be jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3.

	Then I completely removed the conf dir in the new install, as well as 
deleting all default wepapps in the webapps dir.  If you have backed up 
the original install, then move the original conf dir to the new dir.

So move jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/conf to jakarta-tomcat.3.2.3/

Replacing the deleted folder.  Then grab the two perl scripts located in 
the jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/bin dir and move them to the new bin dir 
jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3/bin.

That should do it, and you should be able to start and run 
jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3 from there.  If everything works then you can toss 
the old version, but you may want to keep the backup if any.

If you do not make a backup and you simply copy the 
jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/conf to jakarta-tomcat.3.2.3/conf then you will 
need to make sure all files have the proper permissions, based on the 
original.  You will have to look inside the old conf dir, and make sure 
each file in the new conf dir, has the same permissions.

Other than that you should be all set.

Good luck.
