Apache doesn't supply any "service" scripts, so you should talk to CentOS about how to do this. One obvious solution would be to edit the service script and put a "cd" in there. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyGojgACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAthwCeKlDMFis8CMYht0AtHnz1VHA9 uHIAnRm/IA3ATnzcchRl8hF2zIKgz3hz =z8Ef -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Re: Tomcat service only starts if
How do you start tomcat? What script gets executed? Probably your bash profile script for the "tomcat" account was setting the PATH and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH for you. Review your startup script.

Tomcat service only starts if
Tomcat 5.5.23, sun-jdk 1.5.0_11, CentOS 4.8. Tomcat was built/installed from upstream. Tomcat service starts and runs normally if user tomcat's entry in /etc/passwd has "/home/tomcat:/bin/bash" but not if it has "/dev/null:/sbin/nologin". Would rather have it work set to the latter, which seems to be the "industrially correct" thing to do. I discovered this when I was trying to fix the Tomcat service failing to start and I changed the tomcat user account to look like a normal user's so I could execute catalina.sh manually via su. I had to chmod +x some .sh files that the install script did not set and then executing catalina.sh could start and stop the instance, but now I can only start the service with the tomcat user account left like that.
