Tomcat doesn't really support "upgrades" per-se... you have to do a new install. How much configuration and webapps are we talking about? Tomcat comes with only a few webapps configured out-of-the box. You should be able to do the following with little trouble: 1. Install Tomcat 6.0.20 2. Delete everything in (new) webapps 3. Copy (or move) everything from your old webapps to the new webapps 4. Examine the differences between old server.xml and new server.xml 5. MERGE the changes between the server.xml files 6. Repeat #4/#5 with conf/context.xml and conf/web.xml if you have customized them at all 7. Repeat #6 with the lib/ directory's libraries. Make sure anything you put in there gets copied to the new install. I highly recommend doing a MERGE rather than a simple replacement just in case something has changed. These files are generally not that long and involved (unless you added a ton of stuff to them, but the marge will still not be too bad), so I think it's worth it.
