HOME user folder change & tomcat HOME
Hello,
I've installed tomcat8 on Debian 9, to run a web App (XNAT)
I've a proble concerning the HOME directory of my user "xnat".
Before the HOME was, as expected, in /home/xnat
but now (after deploying XNAT app), it moved to /var/lib/tomcat8
and I can't reverse back the the original HOME.
I suspect it is related to misconfiguration of tomcat, but I can't find
wher.
Can you help me?
few infos concerning my tomcat install:

> Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat8
> Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat8/temp

Why not? Anything you need to do should probably be specified in a
configuration file that can be loaded without using $HOME. Your
application seems fragile.

Tomcat itself does not change any environment variables other than:
PRGDIR (for internal use)
CLASSPATH (removes existing value before calling setenv.sh)
CATALINA_HOME (only if unset)
CATALINA_BASE (only if unset)
QIBM_MULTI_THREADED (on OS/400)
JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS (appends)
Any other changes to environment variables are being done by some
other component outside of Tomcat. Note that this could include
something your package-manager (Debian) has done.

yes, I mean the HOME variable for this user.
user xnat is effectively the user that will run tomcat8 service.
I don't need HOME to be specific, I need it to be at its original and
classical location "/home/xnat" and not in a tomcat related directory...
My question is: who changed this HOME variable and how to reverse it back
Thank you

Do you mean the HOME environment variable? Or something else?
Most "services" do not have a "HOME" in the usual sense.
Why do you need HOME to be something specific?

I suppose before installation of XNAT war file. But I can't really say,

Re: HOME user folder change & tomcat HOME
Posted by Coty Sutherland <cs...@apache.org>.
Hi,
This sounds like a problem specific to the distribution's tomcat
package, which is usually better served by the distribution's
community rather than Tomcat's (they repackage what we provide). You
may want to ask on their users list/support forum/etc, but I will try
and help though :)

Before what? Before you installed the Debain tomcat package? Or did
you install the xnat package? Something else?
> but now (after deploying XNAT app), it moved to /var/lib/tomcat8
When you say deploy, do you mean install xnat's package? Or copy a war
into place? I ask because /var/lib/tomcat8 isn't CATALINA_BASE or
CATALINA_HOME (which were my first thoughts), so it seems to have some
configuration elsewhere.

That output looks pretty standard for a distro's tomcat package
(follows FHS with /usr/share/tomcat8, etc).
