Tino -
I'm sorry to answer your question with a different suggestion, but... I have
a set-up in which I'm using the same physical copy of a 5.5.15 Tomcat
distribution, but I run two instances simultaneously by using command lines
with two different settings of CATALINA_BASE. In each case CATALINA_BASE is
a directory outside the tree in which the physical copy of Tomcat lives.
This works fine - which is not surprising, because as you know that was the
idea behind CATALINA_BASE, to allow people to have a single Tomcat
installation but multiple runtime instances with completely different
configuration.
Something else I'm doing is avoiding environment variables everywhere - I
hate them! They make it so difficult to debug problems. Instead, I have
replaced them with literal paths, including in Tomcat shell files.
(Actually, I have replaced them with properties named like
{{runtime.catalina.base}}, and I use Ant to substitute these properties at
build time - it works very well.)
I hope this is useful. I also hope I don't sound smug - it took me an age
to arrive at the idea...

Subject: Multiple Tomcat-Instances problem
Hi,
I am using tomcat 5.5.12 on linux. We have installed 2 tomcat-instances
- which I thought worked. But now I noticed that those 2 instances are using
the same classes and the same classpath, which they should'nt.
Here is the configuration:
/our-apps/apache-tomcat-5.5.12 for Tomcat 1 /our-apps/tomcat-production for
Tomcat 2 with the directories
* conf
* logs
* shared
* temp
* webapps
* work
Tomcat 1 is working normally. But Tomcat 2 is using the same classes and
libraries as Tomcat 1 in a context which is named "kos" respectively.
I think I have messed up with the startup files. So here is the startup-file
for the "production" tomcat. The startup-file for Tomcat 1 is basically the
same but with no CATALINA_BASE option.
So do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?
