Hi,
in the default case (just one instance, supplied start scripts),
CATALINA_BASE is set to CATALINA_HOME. But this assignment,
in catalina.sh

CATALINA_BASE="$CATALINA_HOME"

is done *after* reading setenv.sh. Is this for a specific reason, or just
accidently?
[reason: using CATALINA_BASE in setenv.sh]
To make clear what you mean and what you are asking, can you indicate
exactly what version of Tomcat you are talking about, on which platform,
and where you got it from ?
Tomcat 6.0.28 and 7.0.0, tar.gz downloads on Linux (I assumed at least the
platform was obvious when talking about .sh).
No. First, only for Linux, there are the "official" Tomcat downloads from the Tomcat
website, but also umpteen pre-packaged versions for all Linux variations and versions.
Then there are packaged versions for Solaris, HPUX, AIX and whatnot.
All these pre-packaged versions have a tendency to place Tomcat-related files in various
directories (such as /var/lib/tomcatxx, /usr/share/tomcatxx, /etc/tomcatxx,
/opt/hpws/tomcatxx, and so on, with symlinks all over the place to reconnect the bits and
pieces). They also usually start/stop tomcat via platform-specific scripts in (variously)
/etc/init.d, /etc/rc.d/init.d, /sbin/init.d, and so on.
So the question was in order to make sure that we were talking about one of the "official"
Tomcat scripts, and trying to figure out when it is invoked.
This is still not so certain in your case : how do you start Tomcat, and do you know
exactly which non-Tomcat and yes-Tomcat scripts are being called, in what order ?
(under Linux, probably start with /etc/init.d/tomcatxx, and see what it does).
I assume this is the same situation in all Tomcat 6 and trunk versions.
Also indicate in which script you find the
assignment above, please.
Arggh. I was sure that I have typed catalina.sh somewhere! Must have deleted
it when reformulating the mail. Thanks for the quick reply!
All this to say that, depending on your Tomcat version and origin, setenv.sh /may/ not be
the best place to define CATALINA_BASE. I have not verified, but if catalina.sh looks for
setenv.sh in $CATALINA_HOME/bin, then obviously it isn't, if your intention is to run
several instances of Tomcat sharing the same bin directory.
