A follow-up for those having Ben's problem….

Like I believe he was, I was able to start/stop Tomcat directly through the sh files, but the script was not giving any response.

Tomcat logs showed nothing – the script commands didn't even seem to be executing.

I got it working after experimenting with the script file's encoding. The text editor I'm using is Text Wrangler, which defaults to UTF8. Switching to Latin 1 seemed to resolve the problem.

On Snow Leopard, my steps:

1) Download and extract Tomcat to any directory

In a terminal:

2) Navigate to your tomcat/bin directory

3) sudo chmod -R 755 *.sh (this turns the shell scripts into executable files)

4) export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home (NO trailing slash!)

5) export CATALINA_HOME=/whatever/diretory/your/tomcat/is/in/apache-tomcat-6.0.26 (NO trailing slash!)

6) ./startup.sh (to start tomcat)

7) when you're done… ./shutdown.sh

Guido - catalina.sh probably doesn't have execute permission. sudo chmod -R 755 catalina.sh should do the trick.

Any idea how I can permission a Standard user to start and stop the tomcat service?

Hello Neil,

I kind of new to the make platform and I have probably have a question that is way below you guys but I am wanting to setup Sakai on my system and they talk about running Tomcat and they have given me a zip file with the following instructions. http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Install+Guide+-+Demo+Install+(2.6)

When I try to start Tomcat it gives me the following error in Terminal

kevin-whites-macbook-pro-2:~ kevinwhite$ start-sakai.sh -bash: start-sakai.sh: command not found Well I'm not used to terminal so I'm not really sure what to do here if you could direct me to some instruction, I would appreciate that.

Thanks Kevin

Holy cow that was easy. I almost started doing this one:

WTH is all that? They should at least warn people there is a MUCH simpler method.

Thanks!
