How I should fix java-path, in order to run tomcat?
Solution 1
I think you should point your JRE_HOME to the directory where your java is installed, not the executable java
itself. An example would be
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle
where that folder will contain the bin/java
executable...
Solution 2
When the tomcat is started it is searching for setenv.sh in Catalina home or base.
Quote from Catalina.sh:
# Do not set the variables in this script. Instead put them into a script
# setenv.sh in CATALINA_BASE/bin to keep your customizations separate.
#
# JAVA_HOME Must point at your Java Development Kit installation.
# Required to run the with the "debug" argument.
# Ensure that any user defined CLASSPATH variables are not used on startup,
# but allow them to be specified in setenv.sh, in rare case when it is needed.
CLASSPATH=
if [ -r "$CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh" ]; then
. "$CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh"
elif [ -r "$CATALINA_HOME/bin/setenv.sh" ]; then
. "$CATALINA_HOME/bin/setenv.sh"
fi
So best way to set JAVA_HOME in tomcat is through setenv.sh
- create a file setenv.sh in $CATALINA_HOME folder
- Add this line to it : "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/"
- Make it executable : "chmod 750 setenv.sh"
Start the startup.sh script, it will start the tomcat.
Solution 3
You can also edit the file ../bin/setclasspath.sh
and have an entry
JAVA_HOME="##path of the java directory##"
This will make sure whenever you try to start the tomcat, the JAVA_HOME
will be enforced.

Iga almost 2 years
I installed tomcat, set variables
CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat and CATALINA_BASE=/opt/tomcat
. in terminal I entered command which java and got response/usr/bin/java
. So how I understand this is path for JAVA_HOME. I set it. When I start tomcat in terminal with$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
I get response:Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr/bin/java Using CLASSPATH: /opt/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar Tomcat started.
But when I check, I see that tomcat wasn't started and in logs I found:
/opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh: 1: eval: /usr/bin/java/bin/java: not found
I suppose,that something wrong with path to java. How can I fix it? PS everyhing was performed in Ubuntu OS
