I think I found what was wrong. In stead of calling /usr/share/tomcat6/shutdown.sh directly, one should call "service tomcat6 restart" : that works fine.
Will close this bug. Maybe docs do need some adjustment as the default tomcat server still points to executing the shutdown.sh directly. P.S. Not sure how to close this bug: can someone do it for me, please? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tomcat7 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053090 Title: tomcat7 cannot find server.xml in /usr/share/tomcat7/conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat7/+bug/1053090/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
