If you have modified any of the startup scripts (except for
bin/setenv.sh), then undo those modifications. It appears that the
documentation is a bit confusing: there is no need to specify a
- -Dcatalina.base parameter anywhere.

Instead, all you have to do is set the CATALINA_BASE environment
variable at some point before launching the startup script. Note that
you can't effectively set CATALINA_BASE in your
CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh because, well, CATALINA_BASE must already
be known in order to call it.
