Setting Tomcat in Ubuntu 11.10

[pramod talekar]

Hi,

I'm trying to run a web app on Tomcat. This is what I did on Terminal to start Tomcat:

pramod@pramod-Inspiron-1440:~$ cd $CATALINA_HOME
pramod@pramod-Inspiron-1440:~/apache-tomcat-7.0.23$ cd bin
pramod@pramod-Inspiron-1440:~/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/bin$ ls
bootstrap.jar                 cpappend.bat      startup.bat
catalina.bat                  daemon.sh         startup.sh
catalina.sh                   digest.bat        tomcat-juli.jar
catalina-tasks.xml            digest.sh         tomcat-native.tar.gz
commons-daemon.jar            setclasspath.bat  tool-wrapper.bat
commons-daemon-native.tar.gz  setclasspath.sh   tool-wrapper.sh
configtest.bat                shutdown.bat      version.bat
configtest.sh                 shutdown.sh       version.sh
pramod@pramod-Inspiron-1440:~/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/bin$ sh startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/pramod/apache-tomcat-7.0.23
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /home/pramod/apache-tomcat-7.0.23
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/pramod/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/
Using CLASSPATH:       /home/pramod/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/pramod/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
pramod@pramod-Inspiron-1440:~/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/bin$

After this, I wrote localhost:8080 in my browser. The browser showed "Apache Tomcat/7.0.12" and not 7.0.23.

Why is this change in the version appearing.

Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi,

go to the $CATALINA_HOME/bin directory and run version.sh, what is the output ?

Hello sir,

The output is Apache Tomcat/7.0.12.
Guess, I missed it while renaming the folder.

Another thing I noticed was that in WIndows, I was able to run startup.bat & shutdown.bat , but not version.bat.
