Hi Ziggy.
Sorry then. I was too lazy to go back to check, and I must have confused your post with another one.

Hi Andre,

I am using a standard Tomcat installation downloaded from tomcat.apache.org.

I am confused as to how you determined that am using a packaged version of
Tomcat :)

Hi.

As I recall, you are using a packaged version of Tomcat (meaning not the
original one from the tomcat website download, but one already packaged by
the people who do such things for your OS version).

You should then look carefully at what scripts are used to start/stop
Tomcat on your particular system (starting with /etc/init.d/tomcat e.g.),
what they invoke and when, to determine what you can put into
CATALINA_HOME/x and CATALINA_BASE/y.
For example, these packages often use a file /etc/default/tomcat that sets
some environment values, which are later used to determine what other
scripts do.

What Konstantin indicates below is based on the standard catalina.sh as
provided in the standard Tomcat download, but there is no guarantee that
this script has not been modified (or is even used) in your particular
package.

I am using Tomcat v5.5

Do you mean that for newer versions of Tomcat, if i want to move some of
the
scripts from $CATALINA_HOME/bin to $CATALINA_BASE/bin i will not be able
to?


Thanks

Are there any side effects to doing this? Can tomcat use both
$CATALINA_BASE/bin/ and $CATALINA_HOME/bin during startup?

 From catalina.sh:
if [ -r "$CATALINA_BASE"/bin/setenv.sh ]; then
 . "$CATALINA_BASE"/bin/setenv.sh
elif [ -r "$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/setenv.sh ]; then
 . "$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/setenv.sh
fi

i.e. it takes setenv.sh from $CATALINA_BASE if it exists, otherwise
from $CATALINA_HOME.

All the other script files are supposed to remain in $CATALINA_HOME/bin.

I am talking about the latest version of those scripts. I do not know
how old your Tomcat version is. You may look at your catalina.sh for
yourself.
