•     sudo find / -name "apache-tomcat*"
  

  you might or might not need sudo.

  You can just download the zip and put it wherever you want, you know...

  From $pageUsers[$post.author].name

• JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME should have been set up as part of the tomcat yum install.

  You should find that:

  • starting and stopping can be done through the service command (eg, type "service tomcat6 start" in the terminal to start tomcat)
  • config is located at: /etc/tomcat6

  From grahamrb

• On Fedora 13 a CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not explicitly defined following a Tomcat 6 install. It is essentially equal to /usr/share/tomcat6/ though. This threw me off when reading Tomcat 6 guides that routinely refer to a CATALINA_HOME. You could add one to your ~/.bash_profile if it helps.

  CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat6/
  export CATALINA_HOME
  

  You will have to log out and back in for this to take effect.
