To further clarify, "GUACAMOLE_HOME" is the placeholder text used in the manual and elsewhere to represent the base directory which contains guacamole.properties, the "extensions" and "lib" directories, and additional configuration files. The environment variable for explicitly defining this location has the same name, but you do not need to set the GUACAMOLE_HOME environment variable nor the guacamole.home system property if you are planning to use one of the default locations for GUACAMOLE_HOME, such as the ".guacamole" directory within the home directory of the tomcat user. Explicitly setting GUACAMOLE_HOME or guacamole.home to /usr/share/tomcat/.guacamole won't hurt anything (except maybe my brain), but it's completely superfluous. >... > > If you're running 0.9.9 you should really consider upgrading.
