Quoting Tom Burke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I know there is a way of specifying within os x and i suspect it is in
the thing
I can't quite rememver the name of (directory services) in utilities..but you
can alter /etc/profiles if you want it permanent for all users, however:
Open your terminal emulator and find the tomcat startup script, usually
start_tomcat.sh or startup.sh.
using your favourite text editor (my case vi) open it up and enter
somewhere at
the top
set JAVA_HOME = "/path/to/javadir"
export JAVA_HOME
then save.

I need to define an environment variable; specifically, JAVA_HOME.
(I'm installing & configuring Tomcat). I'm sure this is a simple
question, but I don't actually know how to do this.
The problem is that after having installed Tomcat, it won't start
(using ..../bin/startup.sh) because it says:
'The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined. This environment
variable is needed to run this program' And indeed $JAVA_HOME doesn't
exist.
Background: I've mainly installed Tomcat on Windows systems before,
and in practice JAVA_HOME is created for you when you install Java.
However I'm told that Java is pre-installed in OS X, so there's no
opportunty to define Java parameters during installation. I know Java
is indeed installed as running the terminal command 'java -version'
gets some sensible responses.
