Despite what RUNNING.txt says, I don't think that works. You actually need to set the CATALINA_BASE environment variable prior to invoking the startup.bat script. > Right now the baseDir that I point to in the startup script > is completely empty. I was hoping that Tomcat would populate > it with some defaults, but I guess not. Tomcat won't - that's up to you. However, logs, temp, and work should all initially be empty, so all you really need to set up are conf and webapps. With the simplified classloading hierarchy of Tomcat 6, there's not much that's documented as shared anymore; according to RUNNING.txt, it's just bin, not even the lib directory. However, examining catalina.properties shows that lib is actually referenced via CATALINA_HOME, not CATALINA_BASE, so that would seem to be shared across multiple instances and need not be copied. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
