Rakesh,
First: please don't hijack threads (you replied to a thread called "How
to *properly* create and use a CATALINA_BASE installation")
Second: it's ironic that you replied to this particular thread, because
one of my recommendations is to always run with CATALINA_HOME and
CATALINA_BASE separate, because it makes upgrades (and downgrades, if
necessary) quite a bit easier.
I'd have a look here for some more information:

Need guidance or help I order to upgrade the current tomcat version on the

Current version of tomcat : 8.5.23
Need to upgrade to either : 8.5.73 or 9.0.54
I would recommend to upgrade to 8.5.73 and not go to Tomcat 9.0.x quite
yet. The upgrade from 8.5.23 -> 8.5.73 should have very few surprises,
but you should definitely read this before doing anything:
http://tomcat.apache.org/migration-85.html#Upgrading_8.5.x
If you have questions, please start a new post to
users@tomcat.apache.org with a new subject.

Files Required in CATALINA_BASE:
bin
Only shell scripts or batch files. Make sure that setenv.sh or
setenv.bat sets and passes the CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME
locations properly.
You can't use CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh to set CATALINA_BASE,
otherwise this file will never be found ;)
setenv.sh should be used for things like CATALINA_OPTS.
conf
All of the conf files.
Specifically, you'll want server.xml and web.xml. You can also choose to
customize context.xml, and put any [engine]/[host]/[webapp].xml
deployment descriptors there.
lib
Only .jar files needed by your Instance, not necessarily the
application(s), and definitely not any of the jars from
CATALINA_HOME
This should almost always be empty except maybe for a JDBC driver.
logs (if in this location)
... and they should be, unless you have some exotic logging going on.
webapps (if in this location)
... and they should be, unless you are using
CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/[webapp].xml files.
temp and work
These must additionally be *writable* by Tomcat.

Subject: How to *properly* create and use a CATALINA_BASE installation
Hi,
What $CATALINA_HOME/conf/ files should be copied into
$CATALINA_BASE?
RUNNING.txt just says:
* conf - Server configuration files (including server.xml)
So it's multiple fileS but not necessarily all if server.xml is
explicitly included?
Ideally I would think it should be only files that need to be modified
since
that seems to be the point of using $CATALINA_BASE. Is this correct?
I'm trying to use $CATALINA_BASE just because it seems like the proper
way
to setup Tomcat in general.
Without $CATALINA_BASE everything works as near as I can tell.
But if I change $CATALINA_BASE to be different from $CATALINA_HOME in
my startup bat like:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/xstart.bat:
SETLOCAL
set JRE_HOME=%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre1.8.0_311
set CATALINA_HOME=C:\path\to\tomcat
set CATALINA_BASE=C:\path\to\tomcat-base
"%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat" run %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
And then in tomcat-base I have:
bin\tomcat-juli.jar
conf\keystore.jks
conf\server.xml
The server.xml is stock except for the following:
<Connector
port="8443"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
scheme="https"
secure="true"
SSLEnabled="true">
<SSLHostConfig>
<Certificate
certificateKeystoreFile="conf/keystore.jks"
certificateKeystorePassword="as1busiw19"/>
</SSLHostConfig>
</Connector>
conf\tomcat-users.xml
conf\Catalina\localhost\manager.xml
logs\localhost_access_log.2021-11-15.txt
temp\
webapps\myapp\<mywebappfiles>
Note: There is no myapp\WEB-INF\context.xml
webapps\manager\<managerfiles>
Tomcat starts up ok and Tomcat Manager works. I can see myapp in the
manager which claims it's deployed and running.
But trying to access /myapp results in:
404 Not Found: The origin server did not find a current
representation for
the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.
I can un-deploy /myapp and re-deploy it through the manager and again,
nothing but 404.
Doesn't work under HTTPS either (and HTTPS works without using
$CATALINA_BASE).
What could be the problem here?
I used the following to create a symbolic link to the tomcat directory:
cmd>mklink /d tomcat apache-tomcat-9.0.54
Is this ok?
I'm using Tomcat 9.0.54 32 bit on Windows Server 2016 64 bit. The native
runtime DLL fails to load because it's built for 32bit. But this seems
to fallback
to the Java runtime just fine. Is this somehow a problem?
Do I need a deployment context xml?
I'm a little stumped by this. I don't normally use Tomcat but I just
wanted to
create an "Application Note" about how to properly use my product with
Tomcat. So I'm really interested in how this all is supposed to work
and not so
much just seeing it work.
Thanks,
Mike
