Sorry, I meant if you're NOT working as root you'll have trouble
since writing to system directories requires root privileges.

Thanks for the reply.
My account is not root account.
Now I placed " -pidfile $CATALINA_HOME/temp/jsvc.pid "; but still the same
error.

You definitely don't want to run tomcat as root! Ideally create a new
user and group, e.g., 'tomcat6', and run tomcat as that user. You'll
want to change ownership of $CATALINA_HOME and everything it contains to
tomcat6.
I think debian puts the pid in $CATALINA_HOME/temp/tomcat6.pid. I don't
know if that breaks the rules for what goes into 'temp' though.
You'll also need to make some ownership changes to your system, as
appropriate. E.g., my $CATALINA_HOME/logs
directory is actually a symlink to the more standard /var/log/tomcat6,
with the latter owned by my tomcat user instead of root.

If you're working as root, then you don't permission to write
into /var/run.
Add a flag for pid file to write somewhere where you have
permission to write, e.g., /tmp
-pidfile /tmp/jsvc.pid

Tomcat 6.0.16 on Linux installation and setup
My Linux version is:(gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)) #1
Fri
Apr 20 16:25:34 EDT 2007
The tomcat that I downloaded is 6.0.16
I've installed Tomcat6 on a Linux system per the Tomcat6
documentation, as
follows:
cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin
tar xvfz jsvc.tar.gz
cd jsvc-src
autoconf
./configure
make
cp jsvc ..
cd ..
I then started Tomcat, per the documentation, as follows:
cd $CATALINA_HOME
./bin/jsvc -cp ./bin/bootstrap.jar \
-outfile ./logs/catalina.out -errfile ./logs/catalina.err \
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
The startup fails with the following errors in the catalina.err
30/06/2008 15:19:09 21791 jsvc.exec error: Cannot open PID file
/var/run/jsvc.pid, PID is 21791
30/06/2008 15:19:09 21790 jsvc.exec error: Service exit with a return
value
of 255
Can anyone tell me how to work around these errors? Thanks for any
thoughts.
