[Bug 58474] New: Clarity in documentation for CATALINA_HOME and
CATALINA_BASE
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58474
Bug ID: 58474
Summary: Clarity in documentation for CATALINA_HOME and
CATALINA_BASE
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: dsheil@vartmp.com
Created attachment 33156
--> https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=33156&action=edit
More clarity in sample documentation
If we look at this file -
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/webapps/docs/appdev/sample/index.html
It says:
"The easiest way to run this application is simply to move the war file to your
<b>CATALINA_HOME/webapps</b> directory."
However, when tomcat is running multiple instances, this directory is actually
CATALINA_BASE/webapps . On Debian recent stable jessie release, by default
tomcat8's CATALINA_HOME has no webapps directory, whereas CATALINA_BASE does,
and moving the sample war file to CATALINA_BASE will deploy it.
I have attached a patch where I change the documentation to read:
"The easiest way to run this application is simply to move the war file to your
<b>CATALINA_HOME/webapps</b> directory (or if you are running multiple
instances, move the war file to your <b>CATALINA_BASE/webapps</b> directory)."
One reason for extra explanation here is this is one of the first things
someone new to Tomcat will see, and that note will probably save them from some
confusion.

--- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Thanks for the report.
Fixed in trunk and 8.0.x for 8.0.28 onwards.
I used a slightly different form of words to provide a pointer to more
information since I wanted to keep this page as simple as possible.
