I did exactly that. I have tomcat 6.0.26 as my current production. I installed tomcat 7.0.32 to test my app on before migrating it. I have the following environmental variable in both .bash_profile and .bashrc
CATALINA_HOME=/var/apache-tomcat-6.0.26 When I run ./startup.sh from tomcat 7.0.32 bin, it cannot locate the instance of tomcat 7.0.32. What is the trick to get around this? Should CATALINA_HOME=/var/apache-tomcat-6.0.26 reside in one of the startup scripts?

(If you're using a third-party repackaged version, you may have to hunt for it.) If they are completely separate versions as opposed to two instances of the same Tomcat level, you'll need to install Tomcat in separate directories, using proper downloads from tomcat.apache.org, not third-party repackaged versions. Make sure you give each Tomcat instance separate IP addresses or ports in each conf/server.xml file. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
