I recently installed tomcat6 with apt-get and have got it up and running. Ubuntu doesnt set the $CATALINA_BASE and $CATALINA_HOME environment variables during the install. How can I locate these directories, so I can manually set them?

Both are stored and can be set in /etc/default/tomcat6. By default, CATALINA_HOME is /usr/share/tomcat6, and CATALINA_BASE is /var/lib/tomcat6.

In either Tomcat6 or Tomcat7 installed with Apt-Get, find the declarations of CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE, in /etc/init.d/tomcat6 or tomcat7, and EXPORT them to the OS variables. They are then visible on a ENV command. and for use by other software.
