the java and tomcat version is same in the old and the new. We had copied $JAVA_HOME also from the old to the new.
I guess, then, copying the tomcat again is not required? regards -----Original Message----- From: David Smith [mailto:d...@cornell.edu] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 1:31 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Backup of TOMCAT required Quick answer: No. Copy over your app and configure the new tomcat to match the old one. I highly recommend hand configuring tomcat rather than just copying config files though. The review is good practice and config files -- particularly server.xml -- have changed over time. The thing that would concern me more is if tomcat and/or java version changes from old to new. If that's the case, you will have to test your app in the new environment before going live. --David Randhir singh wrote: > Thanks, for your answer.
