Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I installed IDP 3.0 on Linux Redhat 6. When I started tomcat, I got this error in&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Menlo; font-size: 11px;">catalina</span>.out. During IDP installation, I gave /app/shibboleth/shibboleth-idp as installation path and idp.properties
 file is in /app/shibboleth/shibboleth-idp/conf directory after installation. What I missed?</div>
