On Suse Linux server I have Tomcat 5.5. installed (port 8080)

Can I also install Tomcat 6 on the same server (side by side) but on different port (for example 8081).

Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of?

Since this is production server, what are your advices?

Manually install it in /opt, change server.xml to your needs (port). Do not forget to add a start/stop script in case a reboot is needed.

Be sure you have enough memory for both. Depending on the application, you will need several gigs of RAM.

Thank you for the answer. Do you have any suggestions for multiple java versions? (currenty java 1.5 is installed, I would like to have java 6 on the new tomcat instance). Maybe setting JAVA_HOME would help, but where? – Emir May 17 '11 at 11:10

Yes, I use to have all my java versions extracted into /opt and added in classpath.sh on each tomcat. – Paul May 17 '11 at 12:07
