HelioHost Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Tomcat has been upgraded from 5.5.35 to 7.0.30. Why were we running such a ridiculously old version in the first place? It was because that was the latest version that cPanel offers and supports. We're seriously talking about the cutting edge here, folks. Version 5.5.35 was released July 7th, 2010. That's 2 years, 2 months, and 20 days ago, or 813 days. Version 7.0.30, which we are now running on the Johnny server, was released on September 6th , 2012. That's 23 days ago. It didn't look like cPanel was ever going to update their supported version, so we took matters into our own hands. While we were working on this upgrade it also became painfully obvious that there were way too many accounts with java enabled on them. For instance cPanel warns us in bright red text:Warning, servlets take a lot of system resources. You will only be able to install them on about 100 domains per server.Suffice to say we were well over that limit, in fact there are currently 209 topics in the java request forum, and that doesn't include java requests from before we set up that forum or all of the private requests. Obviously, it was causing a lot of issues: High memory usage, high load, tomcat crashes, and various other issues on Johnny were all directly or indirectly related to having too many accounts with java enabled.From here on out please only request java on your account if you really need it, not just because you see we offer it and want your account to have everything we offer.Furthermore, if you find that you were planning on experimenting with java, requested it enabled, never got around to it, and aren't actually using it please make a post on the forum indicating that java service can be removed from your account. Also we will be automatically removing java support from all accounts that become suspended due to inactivity. As a reminder, if you don't log into your account at least once every 30 days it will be flagged as inactive. If you've found that java has been removed from your account while you still need it feel free to request it again. http://www.helionet....-java-requests/ Thank you for your understanding in this matter, and enjoy your shiny new tomcat.
