Problem: stasrtup Tomcat in Mac os X 10.4.2
Hi!
I have problems to start up Tomcat 5.5 and 6.0. I have downloaded
core binary distributions and I have followed the instructions.
As a root I have unpacked and moved it to /user/local directory. I
have secified the CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME variables. I have set
execute permisions to all *.sh files in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/ (chmod ug
+x *.sh). I have tried to start up Tomcat but it does not work. First
the message is:
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/tomcat-5
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/tomcat-5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat-5/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/bin/java
This is normal, I think, but Tomcat does not work. The catalina.log
file shows this error message:
/usr/local/tomcat-5/bin/catalina.sh: line 273: /usr/bin/java/bin/
java: Not a directory
The catalina.sh file line number 273 is:
"$_RUNJAVA" $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS \
I understand the value of JAVA_OPTS or CATALINA_OPTS is "/usr/bin/
java" and "/bin/java". I think something wrong happends, because I
had not set either JAVA_OPTS or CATALINA_OPTS. I have tried to set
these variables with the value "-server -Xmx400m", but the situation
has not changed. The error message in catalina.log is the same.
I do not understand what happen. Is it possible the problem is for
the operation system? My os is Mac os X 10.4.2. Does someone know how
I can correct the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Antonio.

Yes, the problem was in the JAVA_HOME.
Thanks,

The problem is this (from your mail)
/usr/bin/java/bin/ java: Not a directory
Since you set /usr/bin/java as the JAVA_HOME, when it really is the java executable.
You have to set JAVA_HOME var to the directory where the entire java installation is, for ex.
/usr/jdk1.5.0
I don't know where that could be on Mac os x but do some searching.

Using JRE_HOME: /usr/bin/java
JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME should point to a directory, not an executable

JAVA_HOME is not meant to be the location of the Java binary.
It is meant to be the location of the Java installation directory.
The script add "/bin/java" to the JAVA_HOME value to get the path to the
executable, which is why you're seeing "/usr/bin/java/bin/java"
First, try unsetting (ie not setting) the JAVA_HOME variable, and see if
OS X can work it out for itself (which it seems to in later/recent
versions).
If this does not work, set JAVA_HOME to be "/Library/Java/Home", which
is an alias for the default Java installation directory on OS X.
(If you have multiple Java installs and wish to choose one, reply &
we'll sort that out later.)
