Downgrading Tomcat on Ubuntu?

  • 772

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.
