The name of the directory to be created under ./webapps is the name of the file of "axis2.war" or any other ".war" file top be deployed with tomcat. If you would deploy axis2XYZ.war the directory tomcat creates under the webapps dir is ./webapps/axis2 XYZ The account under which Tomcat runs must be owner of the ./webapps dir. It is tomcat which needs to manage/create/delete all this directories, hence the tomcat-account must own this files and directories. Josef

What directory is it trying to create? I am running Tomcat under a non-priviliged user account. I will try setting it up to run as root and see if that avoids the error.
