If you want to use the 64 bit JDK there's no other option. First download and extract the a 50MB file and then do the same for a 5MB one that adds the things necessary for the 64 bit stuff.

But in this case you're probably right. It's a better idea to get ANY version of Java working and then go into doing something more.

As for the environment variables it depends on your needs. I have a nice time with my modified catalina.sh and only one SSH console to control more than one instance of tomcat. After all they must have at least a different CATALINA_BASE.

But again, your mileage may vary   =)

Hi

Be sure to extract the 32bit version of your JDK or JRE first... and then install the 64bit patch. Otherwise it wont work.

Do you really need to do this ?

It works fine withonly downloading the right version of JDK from java.sun.com

In your place I'd define CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME inside catalina.sh to avoind using environment variables and to escape that feeling that you may mess up your OS Java installation.

To me it is not a good idea at all to modify the catalina.sh

Environment variable are used to configure your environment, so use it. I understood that java compiler does not even run. The problem seems to come from java installation. Tomcat will not run without a valid jdk.

First you should try to make javac compiling, then you will be able to investigate why tomcat is not working

Kind regards,
