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!

@Hans

It could be a number of reasons. The first things I would try is running it from the bin directory, eg:

cd /Library/Tomcat/bin/; sh ./startup.sh

To see if the error changes, and also I would check that there is execute permission on the startup.sh file.

ls -l startup.sh

Let me know if you figure it out the problem.

Running MAC OS 10.5.5 and followed instructions for tomcat 6.0.20. When I attempt to start tomcat I get 'command not found' path to startup.sh I'm typing is correct… any idea why this is happening?

@Ronald did you have Tomcat and Apache operating on the same port? By default apache will use 80, and tomcat should use 8080. Both can be run at the same time ;)

OSX 10.5's web server conflicts with Tomcat. If you have web sharing enabled on your box you may have to disable it for Tomcat to work. That's what I had to do.

Thanks for the quick reply, I figured out. I just changed the mod of the startup.sh and shutdown.sh files but didn't do the same for Catalina.sh.

Thanks.

@Maverick I haven't come across that problem before. Try setting JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME and see if that fixes it.

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
export CATALINA_HOME=/Library/Tomcat/
