Updating Tomcat

[Scott Stroz]

I just updated my Railo install to Lucee and now I am trying to update Tomcat from version 7.0.42 to 7.0.65 - on CentOS 5.11). When I start Tomcat, I see the following message in catalina.out.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: mod_cfml.core

WARNING: Catalina.start using conf/server.xml: Error at (148, 5) : mod_cfml.core

Oct 27, 2015 2:09:18 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start

SEVERE: Cannot start server. Server instance is not configured.

To do the update, I copied the old {railo}/tomcat/lib directory to a backup and then copied the files from the new version of Tomcat into the lib directory.

Can anyone help me get past this? Thanx!

You just need to add the jar for the mod_cfml valve to your new tomcat
directory. You can grab the latest version from modcfml.org.

In fact, once you get Tomcat upgraded successfully, the speed and
security improvements in the latest mod_cfml are worth the effort of
upgrading it. You will probably want to look into that next. =)

I grabbed the latest from the URL you provided, dropped the .jar file into tomcat/lib and everything is working as expected.

Than you!!!
