Hi all, Russ, I would like to help but I may be wrong : have you already tried an absolute path instead ?
I say that because I’ve recently change my web.xml to direct Geoserver to save cached tiles in a geoserver (+tomcat) subdirectory and I used an absolute path, and it works without changing anything else. And if you want to use a relative path, maybe you should use « ./data/ » instead of « /data/ » Hope it helps, Benoît DEGRÈVE Risques sous-sols et cartographie Bachelier en gestion de données et cartographie De : Russ Hore [mailto:r...@russ-hore.co.uk] Envoyé : jeudi 25 avril 2019 18:52 À : Ian Turton Cc : geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net Objet : Re: [Geoserver-users] /data directory not writeable # ls -ld /data drwxrwxrwx 2 tomcat tomcat 4096 Apr 25 15:10 /data For info., # ps -efl |grep tomcat 4 S tomcat 1232 1 49 80 0 - 1716271 futex_ 16:49 ? 00:00:46 /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/var/lib/tomcat9/conf/logging.properties -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseG1GC -Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048 -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=org.apache.catalina.webresources -Dorg.apache.catalina.security.SecurityListener.UMASK=0027 -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/data -Dignore.endorsed.dirs= -classpath /usr/share/tomcat9/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat9/bin/tomcat-juli.jar -Dcatalina.base=/var/lib/tomcat9 -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat9 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start Russ On 25 Apr 2019, at 17:22, Ian Turton <ijtur...@gmail.com<mailto:ijtur...@gmail.com>> wrote: can you paste the result of "ls -ld /data" in here, I suspect that is isn't what you think it is Ian On Thu, 25 Apr 2019 at 17:05, Russ Hore <r...@russ-hore.co.uk<mailto:r...@russ-hore.co.uk>> wrote: I have just done a clean installation of Ubuntu 19.04, installed Tomcat 9, installed OpenJDK 11 and installed GS 2.15 I have a folder called /data to which I point GeoServer by editing web.xml <context-param> <param-name>GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR</param-name> <param-value>/data/</param-value> </context-param> Now when I start GeoServer I get an error in /var/log/syslog saying /data is not writeable !
