Hi, I have more or less successfully setup multiple instances of Tomcat using the same $CATALINA_HOME install, but am encountering a couple of issues I can't seem to resolve after searching for answers. I am running Tomcat 5.5.29 on Windows XP Pro SP3.
For each new instance I have performed the following steps: 1) created a new CATALINA_BASE directory with the following structure: bin setenv.bat conf |- Catalina | |- localhost | |-admin.xml | |-manager.xml |-server.xml |-tomcat-users.xml |-web.xml logs temp webapps work 2) created a bin/setenv.bat setting some JAVA_OPTS and CATALINA_OPTS as follows: set JAVA_OPTS= -XX:MaxPermSize=256M set CATALINA_OPTS= -Xms512m -Xmx1024m 3) modified admin.xml and manager.xml to point docbase back to the $CATALINA_HOME webapp location under server/webapps/ 4) created a startup.bat file in each $CATALINA_BASE setting $CATALINA_BASE and calling startup.bat in $CATALINA_HOME/bin Each instance is starting up using the correct directories as shown from the startup extract of one of the starts: Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\tomcat\apache-tomcat-5.5.29-mpm Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\tomcat\apache-tomcat-5.5.29 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\tomcat\apache-tomcat-5.5.29-mpm\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_20 Using CLASSPATH: C:\tomcat\apache-tomcat-5.5.29\bin\bootstrap.jar So my questions are as follows: 1) /admin works fine on each instance, but /manager does not and I can't see why not as pathing is correct 2) why no log files are being output anywhere that I've been able to determine - not in $CATALINA_BASE nor in $CATALINA_HOME - so I'm not sure what happened to the Tomcat log files - the Tomcat docs say this will be automatically determined based on $CATALINA_BASE, but I have no log files being output anywhere anymore.
