Tomcat Version: 5.0.19
I want to be able to keep my $CATALINA_HOME/conf and $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory separate from the rest of the $CATALINA_HOME stuff. Is the easiest (and safest) way to do this by moving them to their new location and setting the ENV var CATALINA_BASE to point to their new location?
I ran a quick
test like that on my local machine and it seemed to work. The only thing that caught my attention was that Tomcat was trying to look for the admin and manager webapps under server/webapps relative to $CATALINA_BASE,
not $CATALINA_HOME. So I got these exceptions but was able to get rid of them by moving $CATALINA_HOME/server/webapps to $CATALINA_BASE/server/webapps.
Might I add that I'm not using the admin and manager webapps, so I'm wondering if I could ignore the errors altogether.
I just don't know if that's safe to do that. Any insights? Thanks.
