Re @tdonohue post #7, I followed the path of adding symlinks to /usr/share/tomcat7
In addition to creating these symlinks in /usr/share/tomcat7 sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/common/ common sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/server/ server sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/shared/ shared I also needed to create sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/common/ conf and mkdir temp Both of these config issues were reported by the utility /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/configtest.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1232258 Title: tomcat7 installer fails to create symbolic links To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat7/+bug/1232258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
