sourceone@sourceone-ThinkCentre-M71e:~/alfresco-4.0.d$ ./alfresco.sh start tomcat Using CATALINA_BASE: /home/sourceone/alfresco-4.0.d/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/sourceone/alfresco-4.0.d/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/sourceone/alfresco-4.0.d/tomcat/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr Using CLASSPATH: /home/sourceone/alfresco-4.0.d/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar /home/sourceone/alfresco-4.0.d/tomcat/scripts/ctl.sh : tomcat started sourceone@sourceone-ThinkCentre-M71e:~/alfresco-4.0.d$
It had taken your default JAVA_HOME,JRE_HOME ie the reason tomcat been started, Can you check the logs to see if you had any problem in starting tomcat
If you want to customise ur JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME you need to export it prior before starting the service, in your case U don't need to do it
