Ok, I'm modifying the Tomcat 4 config. Here is what I found in the Tomcat doc :
" 4) Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat 4 Instances In many circumstances, it is desirable to have a single copy of a Tomcat 4 binary distribution shared among multiple users on the same server. To make this possible, you must configure a CATALINA_BASE environment variable (in addition to CATALINA_HOME as described above) that points to a directory that is unique to your instance. When you do this, Tomcat 4 will calculate all relative references for files in the following directories based on the value for CATALINA_BASE instead of CATALINA_HOME: * conf - Server configuration files (including server.xml) * logs - Log and output files * webapps - Automatically loaded web applications * work - Temporary working directories for web applications If you do not set CATALINA_BASE to an explicit value, it will be initialized to the same value as is set for CATALINA_HOME (which means that the same directory is used for all relative path resolutions).
