I tried this http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/2.5+GeoServer+Data+Directory which says:
A: All you have to do to get Tomcat to recognise the environment variable is create a file called setenv.sh for unix or setenv.bat for windows and save it in your Tomcat/bin directory. It will be sourced by catalina.sh if it exists.
Then, add the lines
set CATALINA_OPTS=“-DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=C:\path\to\my\geoserver\data\directory”
I changed this to reflect my situation:
set CATALINA_OPTS=“-DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=D:\ogi\data”
Well, I did this and restarted Tomcat, but the data dir was not changed. Is Tomcat 6 different? Did I do something wrong?
So, I changed it in the web.xml and this approach worked fine. Just wondering…

Hi Roger,
Perhaps the setenv is not being sourced by tomcat 6. Not sure, I usually just put the set CATALINA_OPTS="..." directly in catalina.sh/bat. Maybe try that?
