Installed tomcat6 through the repository and by manual configuration. I tried following the manual installation from this resource http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html but end up following from another website http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/installing-tomcat-6-on-ubuntu/.
When I installed tomcat6 through the repository then tried upgrading it from the shell it's possible but when I tried doing the same process through manual installtion gave me an error that tomcat6 is not installed. Is there a more detailed and friendlier instruction on how to install tomcat6 on linux other than the link I tried to follow and ended up using other website for instruction. About the second question. I upgraded tomcat6 my first uninstalling it then installing tomcat7 from the repository.

Are you installing from the Ubuntu repository or from the tomcat.apache.org download? If you're installing from an Ubuntu repository, I'd suggest that you don't. The versions there are always way behind and install files into distro specific locations (which makes it harder for us, the tomcat mailing list, to support). Installation from the zip / tar.gz on tomcat.apache.org is quite simple and give you more control over the version you install (i.e. you can get all the latest security fixes) and where you install the files. In fact, when you use this method you can even install multiple versions on the same machine at the same time, which makes upgrades a bit easier. > But prior to upgrading Tomcat7 from Tomcat-6.0.29 we never had problem with our website. You're going from one major version of Tomcat to another, which means you could see some differences with your applications. Please checkout the migration guide for more information about what has changed. https://tomcat.apache.org/migration-7.html > I would like to know how I can go about downgrading Tomcat7 without affecting applications hosted by tomcat7. I'd suggest just fixing the issue that you are seeing with Tomcat 7 (feel free to post another thread asking for help with that), but if you *really* want to downgrade I suppose it should be possible. First, how did you upgrade from Tomcat 6 to Tomcat 7? What steps did you take?
