-------------------------------
Summary: RHEL7 - RPM Tomcat installs with symlinks from
/usr/share/tomcat. Archiva cannot follow
Key: MRM-1983
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRM-1983
Project: Archiva
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Audit Logging
Affects Versions: 2.2.3
Environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
Reporter: Matakaheru
When installing Tomcat 7 through RHEL repositories, it sets up Tomcat in a "Red
Hat" fashion. This means config files go in /etc, log files go in /var/log,
webapps go in /var/lib, and so on. $CATALINA_HOME is then set as
/usr/share/tomcat which holds symlinks all over the system. The Archiva
installation instructions indicate setting -Dappserver.home=$CATALINA_HOME
-Dappserver.base=$CATALINA_HOME.
When configured in this way, the system is either unable to recognize that a
logs directory exists, or is unable to follow the link as it errors:
2018-08-01 09:17:23,496 localhost-startStop-1 ERROR Cannot access
RandomAccessFile java.io.IOException: Could not create directory
/$CATALINA_HOME/logs java.io.IOException: Could not create directory
/$CATALINA_HOME/logs
However, if configured to set those two home directives to
=/actual/path/to/archiva then the system is able to find the directory and
write a data and logs directory to that location.
