Right now, I have a 5.5 Tomcat install, and would like to upgrade to 5.8. I cannot seem to find a way to download the 5.6-tomcat files, but I recall someone told me I should go from LTS to LTS, or that an upgrade from 5.5 to 5.8 would not go smoothly unless I first upgraded to 5.6.
Did I misunderstand what the original advice was? Is it possible to just make the settings / changes that the upgrades say to do, without actually doing anything to the data, and then just install the 5.8 files?
