Public bug reported: Right after installing tomcat7, I added a user to /var/lib/tomcat7/conf /tomcat-users.xml, when i wanted to restart the tomcat server.
So I went to /usr/share/tomcat7/bin where startup.sh and shutdown.sh are located and started with ./shutdown.sh. This returned the following errors messages: root@mahatma:/usr/share/tomcat7/bin# ./shutdown.sh Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/tomcat7 Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat7 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat7/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr Using CLASSPATH: /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar Sep 19, 2012 9:07:52 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina stopServer SEVERE: Catalina.stop: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/tomcat7/conf/server.xml (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.stopServer(Catalina.java:454) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:601) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.stopServer(Bootstrap.java:371) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:452) The conf directory appears to be located in /etc/tomcat7 and in /var/lib/tomcat7.
