In server.xml file, the tomcat_home which is probably called catlina_home is set to the root of where tomcat is installed. i.e. /usr/share/tomcat5 ; This is why tomcat runs from /usr/share/tomcat5. There is one BIN directory in this folder and other symlinks as below. Where in the installation should be tomcat index file located? drwxr-xr-x 2 tomcat root 4096 Mar 10 09:27 bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat root 23 Mar 10 09:27 common -> /var/lib/tomcat5/common lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat root 12 Mar 10 09:27 conf -> /etc/tomcat5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat root 16 Mar 10 09:27 logs -> /var/log/tomcat5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat root 23 Mar 10 09:27 server -> /var/lib/tomcat5/server lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat root 23 Mar 10 09:27 shared -> /var/lib/tomcat5/shared lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat root 23 Mar 10 09:27 temp -> /var/cache/tomcat5/temp lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat root 24 Mar 10 09:27 webapps -> /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat root 23 Mar 10 09:27 work -> /var/cache/tomcat5/work
