Created a CATALINA_BASE seperate directory tree(port 8081) and can no longer access CATALINA_HOME on port 8080

[Nikolas Nikolaou]

 Tomcat 8.0.15 binary       Debian 7.7.0 wheezy
Hi. I created a new directory copying the $CATALINA_HOME/conf and creating new 
common logs temp server shared       work webapps subdirectories.I have altered 
the port numbers In the conf/server.xml file and set $CATALINA_BASE in 
/etc/profile.Prior to restarting , I could reach $CATALINA_HOME on port 8080 
but now I can only reach $CATALINA_BASE on port 8081.I don't know If this Is 
how It should be when creating a Tomcat Instance.Any help would be appreciated.
