Apache Tomcat 6.0 Directories and Files

Apache Tomcat 6.0

Introduction

Directories and Files

    Throughout the docs, you'll notice there are numerous references to $CATALINA_HOME. This represents the root of your Tomcat installation. When we say, "This information can be found in your $CATALINA_HOME/README.txt file" we mean to look at the README.txt file at the root of your Tomcat install. Optionally, Tomcat may be configured for multiple instances by defining $CATALINA_BASE for each instance. If multiple instances are not configured， $CATALINA_BASE is the same as $CATALINA_HOME.

These are some of the key tomcat directories:

• /bin - Startup, shutdown, and other scripts. The *.sh files (for Unix systems) are functional duplicates of the*.bat files (for Windows systems). Since the Win32 command-line lacks certain functionality, there are some additional files in here.
• /conf - Configuration files and related DTDs. The most important file in here is server.xml. It is the main configuration file for the container.
• /logs - Log files are here by default.
• /webapps - This is where your webapps go.

    通过这篇文档，你将注意到这里有大量的引用指向$CATALINA_HOME的根目录，它表示你安装catalina的跟目录。当我们说“这个信息可以在你的$CATALINA_HOME/README.txt文件中找到”，意思是在你安装Tomcat安装目录中查找README.TXT文件。Tomcat可以童工定义$CATALINA_BASE来为多个实例进行配置。如果对个实例不进行配置，则 $CATALINA_BASE 和$CATALINA_HOME作用一样。

  以下是tomcat的部分目录：

    /bin — 启动、关闭和其他一些脚本文件。*.sh文件（Unix系统下）和*.bat文件（windows系统下）的功能是重复的。因为Win32命令行缺少特定的功能，这里还有其他的一些文件。

    /conf — 配置文件和相关联的DTD文件。这里最重要的文件就是server.xml，它是容器的主要配置文件。

    /logs — 默认的日志文件都在这里。

    /webapps — 这是你的web项目所在。
