Tomcat Installation Parameters
CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME
Checking the values of CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME
The easiest way to check what CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME are by running "startupsh" for example.
Aptitude Installations
In either Tomcat6 or Tomcat7 installed with Apt-Get, find the declarations of CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE in "/etc/default/tomcat7" or "/etc/default/tomcat6".
For example, for Tomcat7, it reads:
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat7 CATALINA_BASE=/var/lib/tomcat7
Multiple Instance Installations
If you have not configured Tomcat for multiple instances by setting a CATALINA_BASE directory, then the value will be the same as CATALINA_HOME:
workDirCATALINA_BASEwork
CATALINA_BASE
Represents the root of a runtime configuration of a specific Tomcat.
CATALINA_HOME
Represents the location of the Tomcat software installation.
