Andre This is the reason why god made laptops so you can try your <TC>configuration on your own working computer before touching anything from your client..gettin the config to work on your laptop is what a client needs to see and hear
the sysadmin in charge of XYZ machine should have the responsibility of a)performing any clean up including removing work folders during a TC cycle b)make sure there are backups of the entire good TC distro (all of $CATALINA_HOME%) before any config changes as well as ensuring configurations such as JRE_HOME written down *usually in readme.txt* The work folders belong to Tomcat so by rm -rf $CATALINA_HOME/work you can rest assured any residual legacy TC files would be cleaned Also make sure there are NO legacy *.war in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps lingering about that might re-deploy Just as a carpenter measures twice before cutting think twice and ask these questions before using rm -rf 1)did I make a backup to an acessible location? 2)do I need to remove all of these files?
