i just noticed that users on a linux/unix system that unload tomcat7
from the zip file are going to have trouble running it since the bin/
scripts are not marked executable in the zip file.
if tomcat7 is unloaded from the tar ball, then everything will work
fine since the scripts are executable. but from the zip file, they
aren't, which means someone who runs "sh bin/startup.sh" will get:
Cannot find bin/catalina.sh
This file is needed to run this program
and that's because of this test in startup.sh:
if [ ! -x "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" ]; then
echo "Cannot find $PRGDIR/$EXECUTABLE"
echo "This file is needed to run this program"
exit 1
fi
the catalina.sh script is there, of course, it's just not executable
so startup.sh (misleadingly) claims it doesn't exist.
experienced linux users will probably notice what's going on
immediately, but others might be thoroughly confused.
