Lee, First, I assumed you are using the "bash" shell, not csh or something else unusual.
Have you changed catalina.sh or startup.sh ? Take a look at catalina.sh around line 73 - it should look something like: if [ -r "$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/setenv.sh ]; then . "$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/setenv.sh fi Also, you can add the following two lines to the top of your setenv.sh file to help show what is happening: #!/bin/bash set -o xtrace JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m" export JAVA_OPTS This will echo the expanded command lines to the screen when you run the startup.sh or "catalina.sh start" - Richard -----Original Message----- From: Lee Chalupa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 11:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: need help with .startup.sh I created the setenv.sh file in the /bin directory. It is complaining when I startup the server with /startup.sh . A pic of the actual file and the command line is attached. Any ideas? Thanks again. You have already saved me hours of frustration.
