I can't speak from experience under Windows, but on Unix system we
typically have the following layout
for a separate CATALINA_HOME:
$CATALINA_HOME
|-- conf/
| |-- Catalina
| | `-- localhost
| | |-- context.xml.default
| | |-- manager.xml
| | `-- admin.xml
| |-- server.xml
| `-- web.xml
|-- etc/
| `-- environment.sh
|-- logs/
| |-- PID
| |-- catalina.log
| `-- stdout.log
|-- shared/
| |-- classes/
| `-- lib/
|-- start
|-- stop
|-- temp/
|-- webapps/
| |-- appname/
| |-- META-INF
| | `-- MANIFEST.MF
| |-- WEB-INF
| | |-- classes
| | |-- lib
| | `-- logs
| |-- html
| |-- index.jsp
| `-- jsp/
| `-- *.jsp
`-- work
`-- Catalina/
Hope that helps! All of these things may not apply to your setup and
we've added many things. war files won't require you to have the
appname/ dir since they will autodeploy.

Subject: CATALINA_BASE
i'm running the latest tomcat (5.5.9) on Win2K Pro.
Tomcat works in the default configuration. thanks.
i'm trying to get Tomcat working using CATALINA_BASE.
that is, i want a second Tomcat instance to serve my webapps from a
directory different than the default.
the "default" directory is (F:\tomcat 5.5\webapps\myapp).
the "secondary" is (G:\tomcatuser\webapps\myapp).
CATALINA_HOME=F:\tomcat 5.5
CATALINA_BASE=G:\tomcatuser
the [G:] directory structure and user files looks to be perfectly in
order. for example,
G:\tomcatuser
[conf] [webapps] [log]
{server.xml} [myapp]
{context.xml} *.jsp
Tomcat seems to ignore my "second" configuation.
that is, when i start tomcat it keeps trying to fetch my web pages from
the [F:] disk's directory.
fyi, i have apache2 httpd in front of Tomcat, using the
AJP/1.3 protocol. no problems with the connection!
if i can get the apache web server talking to Tomcat, then this
CATALINE_BASE thing should not be too difficult to set-up. what the
heck am i doing wrong?
other information:
1) i do NOT really need multiple instances running.
i just want to keep my Tomcat executables on drive [F:] and my
development stuff on drive [G:]. so, i haven't tested the system with
>1 instance running.
2 i already know about 'appBase'. what i want is for my Tomcat
development instance to start-up
thanks.
