The answer to that is a 'maybe' because of the Red Hat distribution's tomcat-native builds which are included in the zip distribution. To get a real (official) answer though you need to open a support case instead of mailing the community list. > While downloading tomcat from RedHat portal , > Web Server 2.1.0 show the option to download tomcat 7 for "RHEL 5" > > But I need tomcat 8, so in Redhat portal it don't give any option to download > "tomcat 8 for RHEL 5" but it do show the option to download "tomcat 8 for > RHEL 6/7" x86_64. That's because Red Hat only build RPMs for rhel-6 and rhel-7 and the zip distribution includes tomcat-native built for the specific OS. If you download the zip and remove the tomcat-native then tomcat itself can run wherever though :) Whether or not that's a supported configuration is up to Red Hat, which is why I suggest a case to get an official answer. > So you mean even if I download the Redhat provided Tomcat 8 for RHEL6/7, it > will work with RHEL5 as well? Yep, as long as it's running on at least java 7. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
