Chris, Normally, I let Eclipse start and stop Tomcat for me. It only knows about 6.0.18 and that's the only version I have on my workstation until this morning when I downloaded 6.0.29 to see if there was any possibility that I could have corrupted my existing server. I left 6.0.29 with its default configuration. I tried starting both 6.0.18 and 6.0.29 (not at the same time of course) simply via the bin/catalina.sh shell script and both version fail identically with the same IS_DIR exception
