Incorrect $CATALINA_HOME? 1

[mboswort]

I am trying to start up tomcat here on my unix server, but I get this:
creating `/usr/local/tomcat/logs/catalina.out': No such file or directory
My tomcat server is not located in /usr/local/tomcat/. How can I change the $CATALINA_HOME variable so that it points to the correct directory?

export CATALINA_HOME=/where/it/should/be

export that line?

either add that line into the catalina.sh script, or execute the line before you call catalina.sh.

thanks. it turns out there are actually a number of lines that need to be added. is there a quick fix to moving tomcat into a different directory than the default /usr/... one, or do i need to poke around until i've found all the false references?

You can move tomcat wholesale, as long as you set two environment variables :

JAVA_HOME
CATALINA_HOME

Thats it.
