Agree!For Ubuntu or Debian-based Linux, it is better to choose tomcat6 (or tomcat5 or tomcat55) as the DSpace's default user (i.e. run your DSpace instance using the same user as Tomcat).

This is why it is never a good idea to change anything that a maintainer has installed. You are asked politely during upgrades if you want to keep your custom changes or use the maintainers. Now when upgrading from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to Ubuntu 10.04 it is always a good idea to use the maintainers version of things. But then you lose all your customisations of the maintainers version. What do you do ? You never customise the maintainers version. Rather submit an upstream bug report. Rather customise your software to fit so that upgrades and security patches work seamlessly. So in the case above, give the "tomcat6" user full write permissions to the "/dspace" folder and sub-directories. Check this after re-builds and add in a step to setup permissions after rebuilds. I have been doing upgrades with Debian/Ubuntu for almost 8 yrs now and have learnt the hard way to obey the Debian Maintainers. Cheers hg.
