how to upgrade tomcat 8.5.x?

First-time Tomcat user here. I installed 8.5.9months ago, and would like to upgrade to the latest 8.5.15. I see there's some documentation for updating the 8.5.x branch here, http://tomcat.apache.org/migration-85.html#Upgrading_8.5.x but I'm missing some context. I have a fairly simple insta

Re: 404 errors accessing webapp URLs using local IP address on fresh Tomcat 8.5.9 install

Thanks for the help Christopher, I resolved this by adding 192.168.0.2 to hostB's httpd.conf file as a VirtualHost, then including JkMount for mod_jk. - Original Message - From: "Christopher Schultz" To: "Tomcat Users List" Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 11:50:27 AM Subject: Re:

Re: 404 errors accessing webapp URLs using local IP address on fresh Tomcat 8.5.9 install

I should mention that to configure hostB (e.g. 192.168.0.2) to listen to hostA (e.g. 192.168.0.1), I simply added Listen 192.168.0.2:80 Listen 192.168.0.2:443 to hostB httpd.conf file. I did not create a virtual host (is that OK?). I also didn't modify httpd.conf on hostA. - Original M

404 errors accessing webapp URLs using local IP address on fresh Tomcat 8.5.9 install

I have two Linux servers connected via a cross-connect cable with internal IP addresses 192.168.0.1 (hostA) and 192.168.0.2 (hostB). hostA runs CentOS 5, and hostB CentOS 7. hostB runs Apache 2.4.x, and Tomcat 8.5.9. All web traffic gets routed to port 443 (e.g. HTTPS) of Apache web server ho

does Tomcat 8.5.9 have UTF-8 encoding throughout by default?

Anyone know if it has UTF-8 encoding throughout out-of-the-box, or do I need to configure it to be so? I'm seeing some headers using iso-8859-1 and I'm not sure where they're being generated.

Newbie Tomcat user here. I installed Tomcat 8.5.9 on CentOS 7 a few days ago and noticed the default log files for catalina, host-manager, localhost, and manager are created fresh each day with a date in their filename. Doesn't this fill up the directory over time? Wouldn't it be better to have

mod-jk reports errors when downloading files above 4 MB, but runs fine for smaller file sizes

Hi, I'm using mod-jk (v1.2.40) on CentOS Linux server to pass requests from Apache web server (v2.4.9) to GlassFish (v3.1.2) application server. I'm using a java 7 servlet (shown below) on my application server to enable a client to download a PDF file via HTTPS. Things work fine when this fil

Re: mod_jk doesn't map to software-generated web address, but maps to this address when I enter it into browser

Hi David, Well I used Adobe Flashbuilder now to write files to the server (verified by looking at their time stamps) and then looked into the /etc/httpd/logs/access_log file, and there's no activity reported there for this event. The last few entries were as follows (again, not related to Adobe)

Thanks Andre, for taking time to type up the comments below (very helpful to me, a new user). Rainer and Christopher, thanks as well for your recent comments regarding this post. I did a quick Google search that shows Adobe Flashbuilder uses HTTP/1.1, so that shouldn't be an issue. Some mo

Re: mod_jk doesn't map to software-generated web address, but maps to this address when I enter it into browser

Thanks so much Andre for taking the time to help me understand this. It's VERY helpful! I've attached the section of httpd.conf below related to virtual hosts. I think I'm starting to get the picture now. Whatever I input into Adobe's software, I ALWAYS see in the mod_jk.log file the hostname:

Re: mod_jk doesn't map to software-generated web address, but maps to this address when I enter it into browser

Thanks Andre, I'd still be interested is there's a way to have mod_jk only check for traffic coming into mydomain.com for folder /mywebapp. I think the current solution checks all domains, such as mydomain2.com and mydomain3.com, etc., for a map to mydomain.com/mywebapp. Couldn't I just have

Re: mod_jk doesn't map to software-generated web address, but maps to this address when I enter it into browser

Hi Andre, yes I see your point (Rainer's solution would solve that too I suppose). Also, believe me, I was trying all sorts of addresses in Adobe's input field: http://www.mydomain.com/mywebapp http://mydomain.com/mywebapp http://mydomain.com:80/mywebapp http://host3.mydomain.com/mywebapp http:/

Re: mod_jk doesn't map to software-generated web address, but maps to this address when I enter it into browser

Hi Ranier, I took all JkMounts inside the VirtualHost tags and placed them outside these tags, and above them added JkMountCopy All, restarted Apache, and now Adobe successfully can access mydomain.com/mywebapp. Thanks so much!!! I also tried modifying the above httpd.conf configuration by rem

Hi Christopher, I've never used tcpdump before, but it seems the trick is knowing how to configure it with the various switches to extract what one wants. I took a stab at it below, but I can't find much meaning in it. This snippet captures the time when Adobe accesses the webaddress. Is there a

Hello. I'm trying to setup Adobe's Flexbuilder 4.6 software to access mydomain.com/mywebapp using port 80 on Apache Webserver 2.2.21 and connect using mod_jk 1.2.32 on a remote Linux CentOS 6.2 server. I'm puzzled by the mod_jk.log file, which I've included a snippet below and attached as a text

Re: desperate for help to set up straightforward mod_jk connection between Apache2 webserver and web container

Hi Pid, 1. When I say GlassFish embeds Tomcat I just mean it's derived from Tomcat (could be fork, etc.) 2. I should have mentioned the configuration for GlassFish to talk to mod_jk. I used the example in the admin's document (go here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18930_01/html/821-2416/ and

desperate for help to set up straightforward mod_jk connection between Apache2 webserver and web container

I'm trying to get Apache2 Webserver talking to Glassfish3 using mod_jk on CentOS, where everything is a fresh install (new server), no load balancing, no clustering, and everything is all on one server (so no firewall between Apache and Glassfish). I'm quite desperate to get this working, and
