This ticket seems to be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat7/+bug/1232258
The #1232258 ticket suggests instead that symlinks be created to resolve this problem. Unfortunately, simply changing the "${catalina.home}" settings in the catalina.properties file(s) to "${catalina.base}" won't work in all scenarios. A good example is when you use the "tomcat7-user" package to install multiple instances of Tomcat under different user accounts. In this scenario, ${catalina.base} would point at the Tomcat user account installation (which would NOT include these various common directories by default), while ${catalina.home} would still point at /usr/share/tomcat7/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tomcat7 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308284 Title: catalina.properties points to wrong location for shared libraries and classes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat7/+bug/1308284/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
