Thanks a lot.  I wanted to do the same thing but never got around to
figuring it out.  You've made life that much easier for me.

Thanks again.

Subject: [cobalt-developers] Upgrading Jakarta-Tomcat


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.
