From what I understand, CATALINA_BASE was designed to allow for multiple instances of Tomcat 4 on one machine. Each instance would have a separate CATALINA_BASE directory containing a conf dir, server.xml, etc., ... CATALINA_HOME is the directory containing stuff like the bin directory and probably the server/lib and server/classes directories.
I haven't tried multiple Tomcats so I can't answer specific questions. --David On Monday 14 January 2002 10:22 pm, you wrote: > Hi; > > I was looking through catalina.sh and I want to confirm that I > understand what these environmental variables. > > When I say "Tomcat" I am refering to the absolute path on my system ( > Suse Linux 7.2 ) ending with a directory called "Tomcat" which contains > all of the subdirectories for Tomcat 4.0.1 > > ========================================================================== > CATALINA_BASE (Optional) Base directory for resolving dynamic portions > of a Catalina installation.
