Hi, Thanks for the reposnses.
We have tried various things. Making the previous user who ran tomcat a member of the root group. That does not work. We have set permissions on the tomcat directory to be root. We then log on as root and have set the java home and catalina home in the catalina.sh file. Navigate to the bin directory and try to run startup.sh and command is not found. I realise this is a linux question but any help would be appreciated. thanks.
