Re: Where Tomcat webapp contexts live on Debian

Yes, many distributions lay out Tomcat the same way as every other daemon is installed in Unix (executables in /usr, volatile data in /var, configuration in /etc) and the startup scripts set CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE to make that happen. If you look in CATALINA_BASE, you may find symlinks

Re: [OT] Re: Where Tomcat webapp contexts live on Debian

Hi Andre et al, I've dealt with a lot of different servers and OSes over the years, and my 'professional' advice to everyone maintaining a java/web application would be to create a root level directory and install everything they rely on there and maintain it themselves. This includes especially

[OT] Re: Where Tomcat webapp contexts live on Debian

This being a Tomcat list, and Tomcat being java, it is rather to be expected that many people on this list would tend to have a rather Tomcat-specific, and rather Java-specific view of the world. And the fact that most Linux distributions have their own way of packaging software, and

Re: Where Tomcat webapp contexts live on Debian

Debian has a long tradition of doing things in a very special way when it comes to java. Long enough they shipped GnuJ as standard JVM with a debian distribution, a piece of garbage that wasn't able to start simplest of java programs. But there has been an as long tradition to reply to every

Re: Where Tomcat webapp contexts live on Debian

I'd assume the service that starts tomcat sets the bin-Dir, that contains a setenv.sh, that has the CATALINA_HOME and BASE env-Varaibles, where you find the context-Files that have a docbase. I'd like to repeat the question: who did this setup? Peter Kreuser > Am 15.08.2017 um 23:45 schrieb

Where Tomcat webapp contexts live on Debian

I think I've mentioned before that I have a Tomcat server on a Google Compute Debian instance, that I installed with an "apt-get," rather than from an Apache download. I had to apt-get manager separately, which is odd to begin with. And things ended up in unexpected places. Some stuff (like
