[SOLVED] Need to install new 767 WF Server on Same Prod NT Box as 715 WF Server
My current Prod NT Box has WF Server 715 installed with port 8121 and is Using TOMCAT 5.
What is easiest way to install WF 767 Server on same box without disturbing the 715 install? Also I know that WF 767 comes with Tomcat 5.5 how does this all live on one box?
Thanks!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

You do not need Tomcat to install WF Reporting Server. When you install WF Reporting Server 767, just make sure you change all the ports and paths (different from 765).
If you plan on installing WF Client on the same box, make sure you install tomcat on a different directory than your previous tomcat directory and ofcourse change the ports. Also, during install of the WF Client change the paths and ports. These steps are documented on the install document.
There are many docs out there describing the process. Here are few
WF 8.x and 7.7.x Win/UNIX/AS400, MRE/Portal/Self-Service, IIS/Tomcat, WebSphere, IWA, Realmdriver, Active Directory, Oracle, SQLServer, DB2, MySQL, JD Edwards, E-BIZ, SAP BW, R/3, ECC, ESSBASE

If you want both server and client on the same machine then Tomcat 5.0 and 5.5 do NOT play nicely together on a Windows box as the config data is stored in the registry under Tomcat5.
If you are using Unix or another real OS then you can get them to play together but it's not easy and you would be better off upgrading to Tomcat 5.5 as the WF client 715 has no problem with it.
If you only want the server then as Sayed says make sure you change the default ports and paths (the paths should already be different) and also make sure you different server node names to avoid confusion.

As Stu says, upgrade the Tomcat to 5.5 for the existing installation first.
Then using the Tech memo mentioned in the post links above, COPY the Tomcat directory and paste it back into the same folder and rename it to whatever you want. Then use the service.bat to register it as a service.
Make sure that the service.bat is in the Tomcat bin directory as some version of Tomcat distributed by IBI do not include it. You may need to download a fresh binary from the Tomcat web site)
Remember you must manually configure Tomcat as the install will only configure on a primary Tomcat instance

Actually I just need to install the new 767 WF server on the machine that has WF 715 already installed on 8121. Also my client is on a different server so does that mean I do not need Tomcat at all on the WF Server Box? How do I install to a different port and which port should I use?

We generally instal to port + 100 or port + 1000 for different instances on the same machines. eg 8221 or 9121
In my 762 blog there is a lot of material on where to change this setting in what files.
Server: WF 7.6.2 ( BID/Rcaster) Platform: W2003Server/IIS6/Tomcat/SQL Server repository Adapters: SQL Server 2000/Oracle 9.2 Desktop: Dev Studio 765/XP/Office 2003 Applications: IFS/Jobscope/Maximo

In this case you do not need Tomcat on the WF server box.
During the install you will be shown the default ports and given a chance to change them. As per Hammo1j's post adding 100 or 1000 seem to be popular, but any ports that aren't being already used are fine.
