I am using Ubuntu 12.04 server edition (64)
According to http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Install_Tomcat6, I need to locate <TOMCAT_HOME>. However tomcat6 is scattered in different folders in ubuntu. Which one is the real TOMCAT_HOME?

root@ubuntu:~/alfresco-community-4.0.e/web-server# find / -name tomcat6
/etc/logrotate.d/tomcat6
/etc/cron.daily/tomcat6
/etc/default/tomcat6
/etc/tomcat6
/etc/init.d/tomcat6
/var/lib/update-rc.d/tomcat6
/var/lib/tomcat6
/var/log/tomcat6
/var/cache/tomcat6
/usr/share/doc/tomcat6
/usr/share/tomcat6
/usr/share/doc-base/tomcat6

Hello,

/var/lib/tomcat6 is your tomcat_home. /usr/share/tomcat6 is a common installation folder, e.g. if you decide to use multiple tomcat instances. Everything in /etc is related to configuration and tomcat6 as a service, /var/log and /var/cache are directories for logging and temporary data…

Axel
