The text in RUNNING.txt on multiple instances suggests that one can supply an option "-Dcatalina.base" with the startup command. This is not the case for "startup.sh" nor for "catalina.sh". CATALINA_BASE needs to be defined in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/setenv.sh in order for this to work. Please modify the text in RUNNING.txt accordingly or modify "catalina.sh" to also accept this "-D..." -option. Thanks in advance, Tom. NB: Also noted the same issue in 5.5
Thanks for the report. This has been fixed in r727756 and will be in 6.0.19 onwards.
