I would like to install an older version of the Apache tomcat port - One of the Tomcat-based apps I need claims that 5.5.20 has several errors and will not work unless I go back to 5.5.17.

Can someone please tell me how to install an older version of a particular port (such as Tomcat)?

You can replace your local version of the tomcat5 portfile with any of the previous versions which can be found here: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/log/trunk/dports/java/ tomcat5/Portfile To discover where the local version of the file is on your system, type "port file tomcat5"
