while starting tomcat by using this command

4.[root@localhost mpatil]# /startup.sh 

bash: /startup.sh: No such file or directory 

I have no idea why it showing like this.

my file in

  5.[root@localhost mpatil]#  find /home -type f -name   apache-tomcat-6.0.37.tar.gz

/home/mpatil/Downloads/apache-tomcat-6.0.37.tar.gz

Whatever I have tried before is correct or not?

Answer 1

The command you've got typed is /startup.sh, if you've got to start out a shell script you've got to fireside the command as shown below:

$ cd /home/mpatil/softwares/apache-tomcat-7.0.47/bin

$ sh startup.sh

or

$ ./startup.sh

Please try that, you furthermore may need to attend your tomcat's bin-folder (by using the cd-command) to execute this shell script. In your case this is /home/mpatil/softwares/apache-tomcat-7.0.47/bin.
