Hi thanks for the reply. I cleared my CATALINA_BASE variable so it would take on the default $CATALINA_HOME variable. I then moved my conf lib logs temp webapps work directories back into $CATALINA_HOME. Then, I used startup.sh, and it WORKED! Hooray! I can shutdown and startup the server when I do not have a $CATALINA_BASE. When I try to setup a $CATALINA_BASE by moving the aforementioned directories to $HOME/dtomcat, I get the error I posted in my original message.
Is there anything I missed when setting up $CATALINA_BASE? I moved the conf, lib, logs, temp, work, and webapp directories to $CATALINA_BASE. Should I have copied them, therefore leaving a copy in $CATALINA_HOME? After that, I use startup.sh and supply the -Dcatalina.base=$HOME/dtomcat argument to startup.sh, and it says it's using the appropriate directory. However, startup.sh does not start the server apparently; I cannot connect to it from a browser, and I get the error I posted when I try to use shutdown.sh. There's obviously something I missed. Do I need to edit some files or something?
