If it has nothing to do with OX then why do you start your post with talking about how you want to install OX, which website you visited for OX installation instructions... I skipped your OP exactly because of this. I know nothing about OX, so why should I bother to read any further? After reading your OP fully, it seems to me that it all boils down to the question "how do I set a Java property (or a JVM option in general) when starting Tomcat?". IMO the most convenient way of passing JVM options to the Tomcat startup process is the following: Create a file named "setenv.sh" (resp. "setenv.bat" if you're an Windows) in Tomcat's "bin" directory (where "startup.sh", "catalina.sh" etc. are located) and add a line reading JAVA_OPTS="<your java options here>" In your case, I guess this should be JAVA_OPTS="-Dopenexchange.propfile=/usr/local/openxchange/etc/groupware/system.properties" Note: it's "JAVA_OPTS", not "java_opts" or "JaVa_opTS". You could insert this line directly into catalina.sh but I'd recommend to not mess around with it. catalina.sh sources setenv.sh for this very reason. If the above doesn't help you, you should start helping others to help you by providing at least the most basic information like - Tomcat version - OS - what *exactly* you did and what *exactly* was the outcome of your actions. http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Regards mks > > Jim Mensinger wrote: > >> Hi everyone, I am trying to install open xchange on a fresh install of > >> fedora core 4.
