Ubuntu – Downgrading Tomcat on Ubuntu

tomcattomcat6Ubuntu

I installed Tomcat 7 and it is giving me all sorts of fits 🙂
.jar files are missing and I have many error messages coming at me from different directions 🙂

As I understand it, deleting tomcat is not trivial due to the many paths it sets during installation. Is there a recommended or safe way to just remove or disable tomcat 7, and install tomcat 6 on ubuntu?

Thanks,
Alex

The package manager can only uninstall stuff that it has installed.

If you followed the Tomcat 7 install instructions, then it really should be as simple as reversing your changes.. but if you're not exactly sure what's been done, a fresh install of the OS may be a good idea.

Very late to this discussion, but it appears that the 03catalina.policy file in both tomcat5.5 & tomcat6 doesn't actually permit writing to logfiles.

The simplest solution is to change the JULI permissions to:

// These permissions apply to JULI
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/bin/tomcat-juli.jar" {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

Obviously, there may be security issues I'm not aware of, but I really can't be bothered to dig deeper - I've spent too long on this myself.
