First, check under which user tomcat is running. For linux, this can be done with
ps -ef | grep java After you get the user, make chown -R <user> /deploy/geoserver/tomcat_6.0.29/webapps/geoserver/data On linux, this changes the owner of the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR recursivly. Remark: The user you use for administer Geoserver has nothing to do with the unix file permissions. Hope this helps.
