e Tomcats=0A4. Create a template server init script for starting and stoppi=
ng (version, status, etc) Tomcat=0A5. Copy the template init script to each=
 named service (tomcat1, tomcat2, tomcat3, etc.)=0A6. Optionally place serv=
ice-specific parameters in an /etc/sysconfig subdirectory=0A7. Add the serv=
ices with chkconfig=0A8. Start and stop each service separately=0A=0ADon't =
forget to change the relevant ports in each server.xml file. An ant script =
with the xmltask add-on is quite handy for doing this. You can then write a=
 properties file with configuration specifics for each CATALINA_BASE, run t=
he ant tasks to create the CATALINA_BASE, service support files, etc., and =
then install. The properties files then become a nice base document for all=
 of the Tomcat servers that you've installed.=0A=0AAlternatively, if all of=
 your web sites have similar uptime / control / access requirements, you ca=
n run all 5 sites using a combination of named virtual hosts on Apache HTTP=
D and virtual hosts on Tomcat.=0A=0AOr a combination of the above . . . It =
all depends on your requirements.=0A=0A. . . . just my two cents.=0A/mde/
