Installation instructions ►
Web panel, WAR file
If you’re doing a web panel update, start here. This file could also be used for manual installation on any OS.
On Tomcat 9, make a backup of your XML configuration before update!
There is a bug in Tomcat 9 which causes occasional removal of the XML configuration after updating the WAR file. To avoid the server fault after upgrading, we strongly recommend to make a backup.
cp /var/lib/tomcat9/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml /var/lib/tomcat9/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml~
If you’re getting a 404 error after the update, just restore the XML file from the backup.
