http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13477 tomcat 4.1.2 installed from rpms fails to start Summary: tomcat 4.1.2 installed from rpms fails to start Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.12 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Installable Packages AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I installed the current version of tomcat (4.1.2) from RPMs using the version as of 9 October (tomcat4-4.1.12-full.2jpp.noarch.rpm). The install worked after I removed all traces of the prior tomcat install (user and group, etc). When I try to start tomcat from /etc/init.d/tomcat4 I get an OK but tomcat does not start. When I start tomcat using /usr/bin/dtomcat4 as root, tomcat starts. When I su - tomcat4 and start tomcat using /usr/bin/dtomcat4 I get: -bash-2.05b$ /usr/bin/dtomcat4 start Using CATALINA_BASE: /var/tomcat4 Using CATALINA_HOME: /var/tomcat4 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /var/tomcat4/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4 touch: creating `/var/tomcat4/logs/catalina.out': Permission denied -bash-2.05b$ /usr/bin/dtomcat4: line 205: /var/tomcat4/logs/catalina.out: Permission denied q In /var/tomcat4/logs I see: -rw-r--r-- 1 root tomcat4 1731 Oct 9 20:44 catalina.out In order for tomcat to touch catalina.out, permissions need to be changed for the group tomcat4. Once this is done, then tomcat4 will start as expected. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
