Hi all. I have a problem which, I suppose, I can solve - this way or another. I'd like to hear a recomendation from the list, since I'm supposed to go live ASAP.
I have installed: - Mandrake Linux 9.1 - paranoid security setting - Sun JDK 1.4.2 rel_02 - Tomcat 4.1.24 from RPM If I try to start Tomcat via "/etc/init.d/tomcat4 start" it dies. If I start it manually, it runs. I have tracked down the problem to permissions. The "regular way" tries to run Tomcat and it's underlying JVM as user "tomcat4" and that fails with this message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tomcat4]# more catalina.out # # HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, Internal Error # Please report this error at # http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (1.4.2_02-b03 mixed mode) # # Error ID: 4F533F4C494E55580E43505001C9 # Heap at VM Abort: Heap **************** Another exception has been detected while we were handling last error. Dumping information about last error: ERROR REPORT FILE = (N/A) PC = 0x46098c28 SIGNAL = 11 FUNCTION NAME = (N/A) OFFSET = 0xFFFFFFFF LIBRARY NAME = (N/A) Please check ERROR REPORT FILE for further information, if there is any. Good bye. If I run "java -version" as user "tomcat4" I get the same. If I run it as "root", it is OK. Running 'strace -o run-out.log -f su - tomcat4 -c "/usr/bin/dtomcat4 start"' shows that JVM is trying to access portions of "/proc" file system and fails. I recall, that I've managed to "solve" the problem by adding user "tomcat4" to "adm" group. This is the STDOUT of "strace": /proc/26880/status: Permission denied And this is from "strace" log: 16313 open("/proc/stat", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 16313 open("/proc/cpuinfo", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 16313 open("/proc/meminfo", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 16313 open("/proc/self/stat", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) Is that the recomended way to go? Any advice? Nix.
