Hi.
This is on a Linux Debian system, Tomcat 6 installed from a Debian
package.
/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/version.sh shows this :
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat6/temp

Root? You must never run Tomcat as root.
Let the sysadmin who has never run anything as root throw me the first
stone.. ;-)
But I am not running Tomcat as root, I just printed the above as root.
Tomcat 6 is running as user "tomcat6", as per :
tomcat6 6438 1 0 10:31 ? 00:00:07

org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
root@colin:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin#
but I cannot login as that user on a console (shell=/bin/false).
This Tomcat has been running fine for several months (ever since the
system
was installed), but today I had to restart the system and Tomcat, and I
noticed this in the logs :
In /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out, at Tomcat startup, there are these
lines :
Jun 10, 2012 10:31:33 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.ClassLoaderFactory
validateFile
WARNING: Problem with directory [/usr/share/tomcat6/server/classes],

Those look very much like directories that Tomcat 5.5 uses. I would
guess that your CATALINA_BASE is wrong. That is as if you tried to
start Tomcat 6 with Tomcat 5.5 configuration files.
Well, not as far as I can tell. This host (a VM) was set up several
months ago, directly with Tomcat 6. Tomcat 5.5 was never even installed
on it.
I also cannot find any reference to Tomcat 5.5 anywhere in the
configuration files. Everything mentions Tomcat 6.
CATALINA_BASE = CATALINA_HOME = /usr/share/tomcat6, as per above
version.sh output.
I know that these packages tend to put things all over the place, but in
this case I cannot see how there could be Tomcat 5.5 leftovers.
I also ran some "grep -R tomcat5" on /etc, /var, /usr, etc..
The only thing remotely suspicious is this :
Binary file lib/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so matches
but that may just be a comment somewhere in that file.
So, what does that "org.apache.catalina.startup.ClassLoaderFactory
validateFile" really do, that it does not seem happy ?
Actually, there is a twist :
"version.sh" prints the above, BUT
in /etc/init.d/tomcat6 (the startup script of Tomcat6 under Debian Linux), it
sets
CATALINA_BASE=/var/lib/tomcat6
(but of course "version.sh" does not know that).
In /var/lib/tomcat6, there is this :
root@colin:/var/lib/tomcat6# ls -la

Does that throw any light on what may be happening ?
