Yes. I run up to four on this machine - two (one 4.1, one 5.0) are
running as I type this.
Here's a Windows script that works (give or take the HOME path) for
Tomcat 4 and 5.0 - untested on 5.5, but I can't see why it should fail.
The UNIX equivalent is pretty obvious. Check out CATALINA_HOME - where
Tomcat is installed - versus CATALINA_BASE - where this instance stores
its files. Note the JAVA_OPTS for increased stack and heap sizes, too;
this line is optional.
C:\cattery is where I store the data for the four instances.
-- snip --
set CATALINA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1
set CATALINA_BASE=c:\cattery\instance1
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms64m -Xmx256m
cd %CATALINA_HOME%\bin
startup
-- snip --
Under CATALINA_BASE for each instance, you'll need conf, logs, temp,
webapps, and work directories. The easiest way to create these is to
copy them from CATALINA_HOME. You'll then need to modify
conf/server.xml to make sure each instance is running on its own ports -
don't forget to change the shutdown port!
Good luck, yell if you have any problems getting this to work.
