Hi Peri, Sorry if I've misunderstood, but if Tomcat is running as 'tomcat6' (for example), won't new files written by Fedora to the datastream/object stores be owned by that 'tomcat6' anyway? I guess I'm not clear on where the idea of a 'fedora user' comes in in this kind of installation.

I haven't tried it but it sounds plausible. http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Permissions-of-File-Created-by-Tomcat-p16795371.html Regards, Graeme On 28 Oct 2010, at 16:19, ps552 wrote: > weve tried this, tomcat still seems to create certain files in which only > the owner (rather than the group) has write permissions > > Cheers > Peri Stracchino > Digital Library Team > University of York > ext 4082 > new email address peri.stracch...@york.ac.uk > > > -----Original Message----- > From: aj...@virginia.edu [mailto:aj...@virginia.edu] > Sent: 28 October 2010 16:09 > To: Support and info exchange list for Fedora users. > Subject: Re: [fcrepo-user] installing fedora on ubuntu with separate tomcat > and fedora users > > This is a very basic idea, but it might help: > > The user running Tomcat will need to be able to write to the directories in > which Fedora's low-level stores are housed, so have you tried putting both > fedora-user and tomcat-user into a common group and giving that group > appropriate permissions on those directories? > > Or are your permissions problems of a different nature? > > --- > A.
