Hy all, first of all excuse me for my bad english. I write here because i have this problem and i cannot found a solution on Google. I need to use Tomcat on my Debian Sarge. So i installed the package with apt. Everything goes perfect, so did the installation of Java with apt. Now Tomcat starts with the /etc/init.d/tomcat5 script at the boot time, and that was what i need. Unfortunately when Tomcat is launched this way it cannot start the Axis component, instead when i launch it with the CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh script, Axis goes ok. I think that probably the one of the two scripts sets some Global Variables, because if i try to run the startup.sh script it said that it needs the JAVA_HOME variable to be configured. So i want to configure this variables, as other variables like CATALINA_HOME etc... If i use the command "export VAR_NAME=/path-to-the-dir" everything goes fine, but only for that shell and only for this session. I want something for all users that will be loaded at boot time. I found on Google that /etc/profile is the right place. Here is my problem. No one on my system reads /etc/profile. It is read only when i use no GDM and Gnome and i switch with CTRL+ALT+Fx to some other textual console. In that case i can see the variables.
Thanks in advance for your answers, Roberto. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Poco spazio e tanto spam? Yahoo!
