Hi, some additional findings: As i wrote: - I created a symbolic link tomcat6-dev to tomcat6 in init.d - I created an /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6-dev file: # Where your tomcat installation lives #CATALINA_BASE="/usr/share/tomcat6" CATALINA_BASE="/usr/share/tomcat6-dev" #CATALINA_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat6" #JASPER_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat6" JASPER_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat6-dev" CATALINA_TMPDIR="/var/cache/tomcat6-dev/temp" .... # Set the TOMCAT_PID location CATALINA_PID="/var/run/tomcat6-dev.pid" # Connector port is 8080 for this tomcat6 instance #CONNECTOR_PORT="8080" CONNECTOR_PORT="8090" Command service tomcat6-dev start results in a fail message, nevertheless: > [root@shuttle run]# ll tom* > -rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat 0 5.

It even responses to the standard port 8080 (instead of the configured 8090). Same is true if I set CATALINA_HOME to /usr/share/tomcat6-dev as well and create a complete clone of the bin and lib directory. So, I supposes I'm missing something, but don't catch what I'm missing :-) Any help greatly appreciated.
