Sir,

I have a doubt about apache tomcat using linux.I installed apache Tomcat4.1 in linux.I set path through terminal (bash)window in user account. For that I type the following commands

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01
export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/java/tomcat4/apache-tomcat-4.1.36
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$CATALINA_HOME/bin
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/servlet.jar

these are the commands I typed for setting path.
Then I change my account to ROOT
Then I start apche by typing

startup.sh

&

Shutdown by typing

shutdown.sh

Everything work nicely.But after i close my terminal window things are going wrong.apache is not work.if i am again open terminal window and type starting command again(startup.sh).it says command is not existing. again i set path it will work properly till terminal window
closing.I think it is the problem of path setting.I know to set path in windows through Environment Variables.But I dont know how to set path permanentlt in linux.Please help me to solve my problem
Thanking you advance

Anu

if you're using SSH shell to linux, you should see a .bash_profile file in your home directory.
set the environment variables there and it will load each time you log in
for example, my bash file:

# User specific environment and startup programs

JAVA_HOME=/home/efurrer/jdk1.5.0_11 export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$HOME/appia-3.3-bin/bin:$MAVEN_HOME/bin
export PATH

Thank you koka.It is working nicely.Thanks again
