Hi Ben
Thanks for the reply. Yes, the permissions look OK. Using your command,
for example, ls -al /mnt/sdi/spatial/city/planning, I get this listing for
a directory containing a shapefile that I am trying to access:
drwxrwxrwx 2 tomcat7 tomcat7 4096 Feb 26 09:37 .
drwxrwxrwx 7 tomcat7 tomcat7 4096 Aug 5 10:57 ..
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 47966 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.dbf
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 145 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.prj
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 1556 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.sbn
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 196 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.sbx
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 108300 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.shp
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 1212 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.shx
Is there something else that needs to be changed?
Regards
Derek
