Additional instances of tomcat6 - how?

[Peter Boy]

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 at shuttle run]# ll tom*
>  -rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat 0  5. Mär 17:46 tomcat6-dev.pid

A pid file is created, but empty

A tomcat process is startet, but uses the standard directories and
configuration instead of the additional separate ones as intended. 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.
