Why did you set either of these environment variables? IF you aren't
running multiple instances of Tomcat from a single base install, you
never need to set CATALINA_BASE and Tomcata auto-detects CATALINA_HOME
when you run any of the startup scripts.

Okay, what is "tomcat6" and why did you have to link directories at all?
Aren't those directories already there?

I think what you want is:

$ export CATALINA_BASE=/usr/share/mydir
$ vi ${CATALINA_BASE}/conf/server.xml
$ mkdir ${CATALINA_BASE}/webapps
$ cp mywar.war ${CATALINA_BASE}/webapps/
$ export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat6
$ ${CATALINA_HOME}/bin/startup.sh

That should be all you need.

As Pid mentions, it looks like you're using a re-packaged version of
Tomcat. You might want to consider reading the documentation for that
package maintainer's version of Tomcat to see how you are supposed to
run multiple instances.
