Are you using csh? File /etc/profile is system-wide, perhaps not an appropriate place for one-user, one-app variables. You should set this in an application-specific script you write that calls it. Variables must be exported to affect child processes. More usual is a sh/ksh/bash friendly form:

Code:

CATALINA_BASE=/var/apache/tomcat
export CATALINA_BASE
 
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
export JAVA_HOME

If you are using csh or tcsh, /etc/profile is the incorrect file to modify to set global environmental variables for the C shell. The correct file is /etc/csh.login.

hi..
if i echo SHELL
am getting
/sbin/sh

which means am using sh shell
am i rite..?

That sounds like you are root and using a Bourne shell.

okay..
i added those two lines in /etc/profile

i couldn't fine /etc/csh.login at etc

still getting the above error.
