Re: HELP: Tomcat 5.5.9 with jsvc as low priviledges user on Linux fails in Boots

Thanks Rainer!
Meanwhile what I did was to give root access to the conf folder.That worked as a charm. 

Right/Owner are
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/tomcat
chown -R root:root /usr/local/tomcat/bin
chown -R root:root /usr/local/tomcat/common
chown -R root:root /usr/local/tomcat/conf


Having it in the memory is a much better way. I'm looking forward to get the 
5.5.11 release then.

CVS head now includes an improvement:


1) If the directory containing tomcat-users.xml is not writeable you will 
get a nice warning instead of a strange exception.
2) You can configure the MemoryUserDatabase with the attribute 
readonly="true". Then there will be not write attempt at all.


Details under

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36020

Will be included in 5.5.11 most probably sometime during august.

Hi,


I manage to configure my tomcat with jsvc(common-daemon) and everything 
work great till I start to launch it as root. If I run it as tomcat user 
it does work great. If I try to run it as root from command prompt or from 
init.d I get the following exception ( see below )


Right are given as below
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/tomcat
chown -R root:root /usr/local/tomcat/bin
chown -R root:root /usr/local/tomcat/common


This is not right - looks like the bootstrap is trying to access the Realm 
and there is no write access to the conf/tomcat-users.xml file. I can't 
believe the common-daemon not tomcat side didn't say a thing about this, I 
bet there are others experiencing the matter.
Do i have to disable Tomcat realms ? It doesn't sounds right. There is no 
way I'd give "others" write access on that.


Looking forward to hear from you if you experienced something similar.
Thanks,
MC
