-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I had this problem also. If you try other war files you will see that they do not work with. The problem has to do with the permissions that the rpm sets for tomcat in /var/tomcat4/webapps. Below are the settings currently in my /var/tomcat4 directory:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root tomcat4 4096 Nov 1 17:06 bin drwxr-xr-x 4 root tomcat4 4096 Nov 1 17:06 common drwxr-xr-x 2 root tomcat4 4096 Nov 1 18:55 conf drwxr-xr-x 2 root tomcat4 4096 Nov 1 17:06 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 tomcat4 tomcat4 4096 Jan 30 20:26 logs drwxr-xr-x 4 root tomcat4 4096 Nov 1 17:06 server drwxr-xr-x 10 tomcat4 tomcat4 4096 Jan 30 20:26 webapps drwxr-xr-x 3 tomcat4 tomcat4 4096 Nov 1 17:07 work Alter your settings to model these and see if that helps.
