If I log in as root and start TomCat, then TomCat's user will be root. Ditto if I log in as "fred" or "bert". If, for example, root owns all TC files (i.e. everything under TomCatHome) then you will run into problems trying to run TC as anybody other than root. Change the ownership of TomCat to the user that it will run as. On my system, TC runs as nocat on boot. The same user owns all TC files. No world write permissions are needed.
ps -ef | grep java will tell you who TC is running as: nocat 251 1 0 Feb 14 ? 0:11 /usr/java/bin/../jre/bin/../bin/sparc/native_threads/java -Xms64M -Xmx256M -cla John -----Original Message----- From: Scott Shorter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 February 2002 14:55 To: TomcatUserList Subject: Tomcat + Solaris = ?? Hi all, I've searched the archives and found questions on this topic, but few answers. I've developed a web app using Tomcat 4.0.1 on my Win2K box (with no other web server), and the time has come to port it to Solaris. There seem to be issues of processes and permissions regarding this. I am having basically the same problem as http://www.apachelabs.org/tomcat-user/200009.mbox/%3C39D1F701.BF277F08@s pinweb.net%3E and I was able to get around that one by setting the permissions a+w for all relevant subdirectories of tomcat/work/localhost/. There must be a better way, though. How can I determine what user tomcat runs as? Does the same user compile jsps? How can this be configured? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
