What would be the best approach to upgrade from Tomcat 9 to Romcat 11 and Lucee 6.2.1.122 (already running)? UNIX system. Can not use the installer
Why can’t you use the installer?
As described, a fresh install is the simplest and most reliable option.
network firewall
I don’t see how a firewall prevents the .run binary from executing, but if you add a new topic for that I’m sure we can figure it out!

I’ve updated the installer builds to disable bundle downloads, which should expose any missing dependencies which would cause problem with an offline / firewalled install.
LUCEE_ENABLE_BUNDLE_DOWNLOAD=false
Installer builds are passing all the smoke tests for 6.2.290-RC
@LuceeDeveloper can you provide me with more information, i.e. error logs?

How would I handle the Tomcat patches? Will I be able to go and download Tomcat from the tomcat.appache.org site and just replace the files
Tomcat 11 and Java 21 are both included in the installer.
See the documentation for list of what’s included:
“Consider doing an in place upgrade via the admin, to grab your running config from lucee-server/context/.CFconfig.json and then doing a fresh install.”
Or even if you’ve already upgraded using only a patch, running the full installer will update Tomcat and Java. See comments:
When its already upgraded to Lucee 6.2. Let say Tomcat through an update how would I update the Tomcat
Can you answer my question about the firewall?
@LuceeDeveloper: Seems like I already answered your question?
This is what not my question. If tomcat happened to release a newer version how would I update it?
Your original topic was:
“6.2 installer not working behind firewall”
Now you are asking a completely different question, and yet the answer remains the same. I’d say best practice is to not update Tomcat until it’s been QA tested by Lucee Association Switzerland (LAS) with the current stable release of Lucee. And when it is confirmed, the installer is updated with the newer Tomcat bundled in it.
So, again, running the installer doesn’t just update Lucee. It also updates Java and Tomcat.
If I’m wrong about that, someone (probably @Zackster ) please correct me!
That is what I do on my Ubuntu VM for same version updates. I monitor the tomcat Security Reports link and just download the newest version, shutdown Lucee, overwrite Tomcat/lib/*.lib. I also usually do any apt updates for the OS etc. Reboot or restart.
