Bug ID: 58474
Summary: Clarity in documentation for CATALINA_HOME and
CATALINA_BASE
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: dsh...@vartmp.com

More clarity in sample documentation
If we look at this file -
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/webapps/docs/appdev/sample/index.html
It says:
"The easiest way to run this application is simply to move the war file to your
CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory."
However, when tomcat is running multiple instances, this directory is actually
CATALINA_BASE/webapps . On Debian recent stable jessie release, by default
tomcat8's CATALINA_HOME has no webapps directory, whereas CATALINA_BASE does,
and moving the sample war file to CATALINA_BASE will deploy it.
I have attached a patch where I change the documentation to read:
"The easiest way to run this application is simply to move the war file to your
CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory (or if you are running multiple
instances, move the war file to your CATALINA_BASE/webapps directory)."
One reason for extra explanation here is this is one of the first things
someone new to Tomcat will see, and that note will probably save them from some
confusion.
