Tomcat 6 on OSX

I needed to run Tomcat, so I decided to use Tomcat 6 for a change. I got an all too familiar when I tried to start things with catalina start:

The BASEDIR environment variable is not defined correctly

Grrr... I've had this error before, but I couldn't remember at first what the deal was. Then I remembered it... The shells scripts in $CATALINA_HOME/bin aren't executable by default...

cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin
chmod +x *.sh
./catalina.sh start
Using CATALINA_BASE: /Users/michael/dev/apache-tomcat-6.0.13/
Using CATALINA_HOME: /Users/michael/dev/apache-tomcat-6.0.13/
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /Users/michael/dev/apache-tomcat-6.0.13//temp
Using JRE_HOME: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home

Ahh, much better!
