AIX version of Apache Tomcat 7.0.34 for RTC 4.0.1?
![]()
Due to security vulnerabilities found in Apache Tomcat 7.0.25, there is a need to upgrade the Tomcat version to 7.0.34. The RTC server installation is on AIX. Is there an AIX specific installer/download available for Tomcat 7.0.34? Does anyone know?
Thank you |

I have used the tar.gz package in the past to update Tomcat. Here's how I've performed:
1) stop the application 2) unpack the new tomcat into the server directory of the install 3) mv tomcat tomcat.old 4) mv apache-tomcat-X-Y-Z tomcat (X,Y,Z can vary) 5) remove everything under the new tomcat/webapps 6) mv the content of tomcat.old/webapps to tomcat/webapps 7) copy the server.xml and key files from old tomcat to new. 8) start it up. I find it safer to make a new install of tomcat and re-arrange the needed data. It's much quicker to restore to the prior configuration by simply changing the names of the tomcat directories (e.g. tomcat > tomcat.new , tomcat.old > tomcat) Sumant Renukarya selected this answer as the correct answer
