reading the snippet from RUNNING.txt and i think something needs to be clarified.
i can see how multiple users could share a common CATALINA_HOME directory, whose only common contents would be the bin/ and lib/ directories. but how would individual users take advantage of that? if i create a personal CATALINA_BASE directory, and someone else has already started tomcat listening on port 8080, then i certainly can't start another one on that same port with the startup.sh script -- i tried that and quite predictably got an error that port 8080 was already in use. and if i change that server port to, say, 8081, i'm just going to run into another conflict on port 8009. so if i want to run an entirely separate tomcat instance, don't i have to modify server.xml, at least to the extent that it doesn't conflict with any other running instances in terms of ports? and if so, shouldn't that be mentioned in RUNNING.txt? (unless it's spelled out in more detail elsewhere.) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P. J.
