Need help with Tomcat on OSX...

Hello there,

I am trying to set up Tomcat on my MacOSX PowerBook....

I created a .bash_profile file under ~/ its contents are:

JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home";
CATALINA_HOME="/Developer/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28";
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin;
export JAVA_HOME CATALINA_HOME

Now, when I did this:

$ cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin
$ sh startup.sh

I got this error message:

Cannot find ./catalina.sh
This file is needed to run this program

If anyone can help, I'd be very appreciative......

All the best,

Did you check if startup.sh is executable?

chmod +x startup.sh
./startup.sh

Also for setting class path use this tool. It is easy to set classpath with this. http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCEnvironment/

sh startup.sh

Don't start it up in its own shell (the result of using the sh command). When you do that the spawned process does not have its working directory correctly set.
