Re: Problem with startup script for tomcat in linux

[David Smith]

Typo in your script.  the JAVA_HOME line should read:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02

Hi all,

I have a problem using startup script for tomcat in linux. It actually starts up when booting up. but then, it says " [Failed] " and the reason is "JAVA_HOME variable not defined correctly. This environment variable is neccesary for running this program. "

But I have defined the environment variable in my startup script.

I am using Tomcat 4.1.18 with j2sdk1.4.1_02 in redhat linux.
tomcat directory is /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18 and the java directory is /usr/
java/j2sdk1.4.1_02

I placed the startup script  named tomcatd.sh  in  "/etc/rc.d/init.d"

The following is my startup script.

#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for Jakarta Tomcat
#
# chkconfig: 345 84 16
# description: Jakarta Tomcat Java Servlet/JSP Container

TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
TOMCAT_START=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/bin/startup.sh
TOMCAT_STOP=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/bin/shutdown.sh

#Necessary environment variables
export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.4.1_02

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

#Check for tomcat script
if [ ! -f $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh ]
then
   echo "Tomcat not available..."
   exit
fi

start() {
   echo -n "Starting Tomcat: "
   daemon $TOMCAT_START
   echo
   touch /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd
# We may need to sleep here so it will be up for apache
#    sleep 5
#Instead should check to see if apache is up by looking for http.pid
}

stop() {
   echo -n $"Shutting down Tomcat: "
   daemon $TOMCAT_STOP
   rm -f /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd.pid
   echo
}

case "$1" in
   start)
       start
       ;;
   stop)
       stop
       ;;
   restart)
       stop
       sleep 3
       start
       ;;
   *)
       echo "Usage: tomcatd {start|stop|restart}"
   exit 1
esac

Can anyone help me out?.

Thanks in advance,
