[tomcat-5.5.17-r4] The /etc/init.d/tomcat-5.5 file (which has mostly similar functionality to /usr/share/tomcat-5.5/bin/catalina.sh) doesn't seem to treat CATALINA_BASE quite right. Here's a diff that should fix it (no guarantees). I've taken the code from catalina.sh. Why doesn't the init file just call catalina.sh like it used to? # diff -u /etc/init.d/tomcat-5.5 /etc/init.d/tomcat-5.5.fixed --- /etc/init.d/tomcat-5.5 2006-09-20 11:14:13.000000000 +0100 +++ /etc/init.d/tomcat-5.5.fixed 2006-09-20 12:15:09.000000000 +0100 @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ # Activate Logging if [[ -r "${CATALINA_HOME}"/bin/tomcat-juli.jar ]]; then JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager \ - -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/etc/tomcat-5.5/logging.properties" + -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CATALINA_BASE/conf/logging.properties" fi # Populate the classpath @@ -56,7 +56,7 @@ start-helper $JAVA_HOME/bin/jdb \ -sourcepath ${CATALINA_HOME}/../../jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/src/share \ -Djava.security.manager \ - -Djava.security.policy=/etc/tomcat-5.5/catalina.policy + -Djava.security.policy=$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy elif [[ "${TOMCAT_START}" == "jpda start" ]] ; then start-helper $JAVA_HOME/bin/java ${JPDA_OPTS} elif [[ "${TOMCAT_START}" == "start" ]] ; then @@ -64,7 +64,7 @@ elif [[ "${TOMCAT_START}" == "start -security" ]] ; then start-helper $JAVA_HOME/bin/java \ -Djava.security.manager \ - -Djava.security.policy=/etc/tomcat-5.5/catalina.policy + -Djava.security.policy=$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy else eerror "Invalid TOMCAT_START variable value, or one is not set" eerror "Please see /etc/conf.d/tomcat-5.5 for more information"
The catalina.sh was to problematic to patch and to call reliably from the init script. Replacing it entirely was the best option, and in the future the init script will get replaced by one developed by a Tomcat dev. In the mean time I have corrected the hard coded path to use ${CATALINA_BASE} per your suggestion. It's been committed to tree so closing this bug. Please provide patches as a plain text attachment in the future. Thank you.
