A couple of suggestions then: 1) check that you are export-ing the variables in .bashrc 2) if that doesn't work, try creating a local "setenv.sh" script where you set and then export the variable values; execute this with . ./setenv.sh before executing startup.sh or shutdown.sh Steve

Cannot find /catalina.sh This file is needed to run this program Connection to XXX.XXX.XX.XXX closed. Apparently it's not recognizing my variable declarations in my ~/.bashrc file. In addition it booted me off my remote connection! I ssh'ed back to the machine and successfully echoed CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/fedora/tomcat/bin. So I know the environment variables are in the ~/.bashrc file and I can successfully echo them from said file, but it seems like something in the startup process of Fedora Commons is either not touching or overriding the values in the ~/.bashrc file.

McLeod [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 01 July 2009 18:54 To: [email protected] Subject: [Fedora-commons-users] JAVA_HOME / JRE_HOME Error Message WhenStarting Fedora Commons Good afternoon everyone, First, the basics: Ubuntu 8.04 server Fedora Commons 3.2 jar installer Tomcat installed from 'included' option FEDORA_HOME=/usr/share/fedora CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/fedora/tomcat/bin JAVA_HOME=/usr/libs/jvm/java-6-sun All of the the above environment variables are declared in ~/.bashrc Here is my dilemma: Whenever I attempt to start Fedora Commons, I receive this message: "Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined" "At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program" My JAVA_HOME variable is defined in my ~/.bashrc. I've also exported JRE_HOME to the proper path immediately before attempting to start Fedora Commons and no matter which course I chart, I end up with the same error message I reference above. I found a thread on the Ubuntu forums dealing with this issue when installing Tomcat5.5 from the apt repositories that indicates a solution by editing Tomcat's default JAVA_HOME variable. The location of the file to edit, /etc/default/tomcat5.5, however, is only found if you install Tomcat5.5 separately instead of using the Tomcat instance that is bundled with the Fedora Commons installer. Has anyone encountered a problem like this before? I'm fairly certain that it's not my ~/.bashrc as I can echo back all the correct paths. Am I missing a config file somewhere in the included Tomcat installation? Regards, Patrick
