Thread: Not able to set tomcat enviroment variable

I am trying to run tomcat in my CentOS linux server but not able to do it.
I have already installed the JDK and JRE in my server sucessfully and also added the enviroment variables
export CATALINA_HOME=/home/strag/public_html/confluence
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21
export JRE_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_21

to /etc/profile and bash profile.

Now when i run the tomcat start command it gives following message

Using CATALINA_BASE: /home/strag/public_html/confluence
Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/strag/public_html/confluence
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/strag/public_html/confluence/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/local/jre
Using CLASSPATH: /home/strag/public_html/confluence/bin/bootstrap.jar
./catalina.sh: line 297: /usr/local/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory
./catalina.sh: line 297: exec: /usr/local/jre/bin/java: cannot execute: No such file or directory

I have already set a different path for JRE_HOME but it shows the same path.
Anyone please help me which file i have to change to set the variable permanently.

Which user runs tomcat? Is it root, or is it a "tomcat" system user?
If it is root the export JAVA_HOME etc should be added in the /root/.bashc file
If it is a tomcat system user, you can add the env variables in the script you use to launch tomcat.
ex
su - tomcat -c "export JAVA_HOME=...; /.../startup.sh"

However here I think the tomcat config may be the problem...
How did you install tomcat?

try getting logout and again login then check "env"

if fails... just copy and paste the changed line in /etc/profile for jre home.
