Files Required in CATALINA_BASE:
bin
Only shell scripts or batch files. Make sure that setenv.sh or
setenv.bat sets and passes the CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME locations
properly.
conf
All of the conf files.
lib
Only .jar files needed by your Instance, not necessarily the
application(s), and definitely not any of the jars from CATALINA_HOME
logs (if in this location)
webapps (if in this location)
temp and work
