Hi Karl. The tomcat service set's it's own JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables. Just a quick look in /etc/init.d/tomcat6 will show that.
My installation of tomcat 6 on Ubuntu has webapps deployed to /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps, not /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps. The later directory doesn't even exist. Could you take a look at /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps? The ROOT webapp should be there. Put your webapp next to it and make sure it's readable by the tomcat6 user account .. either by setting world readable or make sure tomcat6 is in the group or owner permission fields. Once all that is done, restart tomcat6: sudo service tomcat6 restart --David On 4/25/2011 5:36 AM, Karl Schmitt wrote: > Dear Marin, > > thanks for your reply :-) > > please verify is one of those environment variable > pointing to the wrong place? > > karl@sonoma:~$ sudo -s > [sudo] password for karl: > root@sonoma:~# echo $JAVA_HOME > /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk > root@sonoma:~# echo $CATALINA_HOME > /usr/share/tomcat6 > root@sonoma:~# echo $CATALINA_BASE > /usr/share/tomcat6 > root@sonoma:~# > > I do have an error logged in the out file, however, no clue what it means > :-( > > root@sonoma:/var/log/tomcat6# egrep "[Ee]rror" *.log; egrep "[Ee]rror" *.out > java.util.logging.ErrorManager: 1: FileHandler is closed or not yet > initialized, unable to log [22.04.2011 21:45:57 > org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol pause > root@sonoma:/var/log/tomcat6# > > Thanks in advance, > Karl > > > > On Sun, Apr 24, 2011 at 2:47 PM, Martin Gainty <mgai...@hotmail.com> wrote: > >> Karl- >> >> check .profile and .bashrc for any manipulations of JAVA_HOME or >> CATALINA_HOME or CATALINA_BASE >> have you noticed any specific errors in either the logs or stacktrace? >> >> Martin >> ______________________________________________ >> Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung >> >> Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.
