You'll want to grant Tomcat the permission to read and write to files and directories in [dspace]/ and other directories such as the search index directories if they are stored outside of [dspace] (e.g. we keep our search indexes on local disks, and [dspace] on a mounted external server). You can be more precise if you want (e.g. just read permissions for [dspace]/config/* just in case someone hacks Tomcat and manages to read your database password from dspace.cfg) but a general grant of all permissions on [dspace]/ is probably sufficient. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/security-manager-howto.html suggests that it is only possible to have a single catalina.policy file for a tomcat instance, not one per webapp. Thanks, Stuart _________________________________________________________________ Gwasanaethau Gwybodaeth Information Services Prifysgol Aberystwyth Aberystwyth University E-bost / E-mail: [email protected] Ffon / Tel: (01970) 622860 _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
