Can I move the TomCat installation to another directory ?

[BenXS]

I installed TomCat (under WinXP) to

D:\server\java\TomCat\

Can I just move the whole directory tree to another location e.g.

D:\TomCat

Or is the absolute path of the base directory entered somewhere in TomCats config files
during the initial TomCat installation?

In this case an existing TomCat installation would obviously be immovable

Yes, that works fine, as long as you spell it correctly (Tomcat, not
TomCat).

Hi,

In most case yes. Double check your startup script (or windows
service).   By default most of the tomcat configurations are relative
to ${catalina.base} which by default is ${catalina.home} which is the
installation directory.  The web apps are relative to the directory
webapps, if the web applications were not in webapps then you need to
check their context e.g. myapps.xml files.
