Is there anyway to manually upgrade the tomcat version by the end-user without waiting, and without affecting how Ant works?

Due to the version of Tomcat being flagged as security risk in one of the firewall scan from our client, we have to stop Ant server for almost a week since.

Hi @quan612,

Which version are you using(Community or Enterprise)? If you use Community Edition, you just need to switch update-tomcat-version branch and run mvn clean install -Dgpg.skip=true command in ant-media-server-parent project. You need to run redeploy.sh script for StreamApp and Ant-Media-Server projects as well.

If you are an Enterprise Edition user, I can provide you with the Enterprise Edition which is built with Tomcat 8.5.78 version. Please provide me with your email address. I can share it with you.
Disclaimer: I tested WebRTC Publish&Play scenario, it's working fine. But we are skipping CI/CD processes with this process. Just FYI.

Best Regards,
Selim

hi @SelimEmre,

May I know the Ubuntu command to check the Tomcat version after upgrade to the new Ant. I tried a few common command to check but I think the tomcat is installed as a module, not a separated module so the normal checking command does not work

Hi, May I know for the package you sent. Is it that I just need to copy the folder over to the installed directory> Sorry I was not paying attention to the zip file yesterday and thought it is an install package like normal.

Hi @quan612,

You can understand Tomcat version with the beginning of the Ant Media Server logs. You will see Tomcat version as below:

You can also control it with browser as below:

I can recommend you use latest version of installation file as below:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ant-media/Scripts/master/install_ant-media-server.sh && chmod 755 install_ant-media-server.sh

After that you can upgrade your server with below:

sudo ./install_ant-media-server.sh -i [ANT_MEDIA_SERVER_INSTALLATION_FILE] -r true

Best Regards,
Selim

Hi @SelimEmre

I got issue when trying to install / upgrade from the snapshot file you sent me the day before.

Here is what I did:

1. Fresh install of 2.4.1 Enterprise version, ensure everything works on 2.4.1, then run the upgrade command using the snapshot file
   sudo ./install_ant-media-server.sh -i [ANT_MEDIA_SERVER_INSTALLATION_FILE] -r true

2. Fresh install of 2.4.4 using the snapshot file you sent
   sudo ./install_ant-media-server.sh -i [ANT_MEDIA_SERVER_INSTALLATION_FILE]

both using the latest version of installation file from wget.

I attached the logs

This is on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
logs_new_install.txt
logs_old_upgrade_to_new.txt

Hi @quan612,

You just need to upgrade to the latest version of Ant Media Server(v2.5.1). We are using Apache Tomcat/8.5.82 version in that version. Please check this guide for the upgrade process.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
