I think CATALINA_HOME should be /usr/share/fedora/tomcat/ without the bin/

Cannot find /catalina.sh This file is needed to run this program Connection to XXX.XXX.XX.XXX closed. Apparently it's not recognizing my variable declarations in my ~/.bashrc file. In addition it booted me off my remote connection! I ssh'ed back to the machine and successfully echoed CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/fedora/tomcat/bin. So I know the environment variables are in the ~/.bashrc file and I can successfully echo them from said file, but it seems like something in the startup process of Fedora Commons is either not touching or overriding the values in the ~/.bashrc file.

I've also exported JRE_HOME to the proper path immediately before attempting to start Fedora Commons and no matter which course I chart, I end up with the same error message I reference above. I found a thread on the Ubuntu forums dealing with this issue when installing Tomcat5.5 from the apt repositories that indicates a solution by editing Tomcat's default JAVA_HOME variable. The location of the file to edit, /etc/default/tomcat5.5, however, is only found if you install Tomcat5.5 separately instead of using the Tomcat instance that is bundled with the Fedora Commons installer. Has anyone encountered a problem like this before? I'm fairly certain that it's not my ~/.bashrc as I can echo back all the correct paths. Am I missing a config file somewhere in the included Tomcat installation? Regards, Patrick
