| Use the <code class="literal">-configDir</code> option to specify an alternate <code class="literal">configuration</code> directory, different from the |
| default <code class="literal">SERVER_HOME/configuration</code> directory. This option allows you to use the same Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat |
| installation to run multiple instances of VTS. Simply create a configuration directory for each |
| instance, specify unique port numbers, logging and tracing directories, and so on, and then specify that directory |
| when starting VTS. |
| </p><p> |
| If you specify a relative path for the <code class="literal">-configDir</code> parameter, |
| the startup script interprets the path as relative to the root of the Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat installation, |
| and not relative to the directory from which you execute the <code class="literal">startup</code> script. |
