1. Remove tomcat installed with yum
2. Remove the JDK installed with yum

4. Install a new version of tomcat
5. Confirmation

1. Remove tomcat installed with yum

Stop tomcat

sudo service tomcat6 stop
sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat6 stop

Stop tomcat

sudo chkconfig tomcat6 off

Check the installed tomcat

yum list installed | grep tomcat

Uninstall tomcat

sudo yum remove -y tomcat6 tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-admin-webapps apache-tomcat-apis.noarch tomcat6-el-2.1-api.noarch tomcat6-jsp-2.1-api.noarch tomcat6-lib.noarch tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api.noarch

2. Remove the JDK installed with yum

Check the installed JDK

yum list installed | grep jdk

Uninstall the JDK

sudo yum remove -y java-1.7.0-openjdk.i686 java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel.i686

3. Install the new version of the JDK

Download the JDK

Download and transfer the JDK tar file from the following address

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Extract the transferred tar file

tar xvf jdk-8u5-linux-i586.gz

Move directory

sudo mv jdk1.8.0_05 /usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_05

Cd to the moved directory

cd /usr/local/java/

Create a symbolic link with the version name removed

sudo ln -s jdk1.8.0_05 jdk

Set environment variables for JAVA_HOME

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/java/jdk"

Remove pre-installed java and javac symlinks

cd /usr/bin
sudo rm java
sudo rm javac

Create by downloading the symbolic link and specifying it in the set location

sudo ln -s $JAVA_HOME/bin/java java
sudo ln -s $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac javac

Check java version

It is OK if it is the installed version.

java -version
javac -version

4. Install a new version of tomcat

Download the version of Tomcat you want to install

Download Tomcat 8 here. tomcat8 download page http://tomcat.apache.org/download-80.cgi

Download the binary distribution tar file

Extract the downloaded binary distribution

tar -xvzf apache-tomcat-8.0.9.tar.gz

Move the unzipped directory

sudo mv apache-tomcat-8.0.9 /usr/local/tomcat8

Start tomcat

sudo /usr/local/tomcat8/bin/startup.sh

5. Confirmation

Let's access it with a browser

http://localhost:8080
