In previous versions of tomcat (and ubuntu) we see the permissions to this directory as follows:
/var/log/tomcat7# ls -lah drwxr-x--- 2 tomcat7 adm 156K Feb 4 00:00 . drwxrwxr-x 22 root syslog 4.0K Feb 4 06:51 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat7 adm 0 Feb 2 06:54 catalina.out /var/log/tomcat8# ls -lah drwxr-x--- 2 tomcat8 adm 4.0K Feb 4 06:25 . drwxrwxr-x 16 root syslog 4.0K Feb 4 06:25 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat8 adm 0 Feb 2 06:25 catalina.out Where as currently with tomcat9 it has changed (the adm group is missing from the directory and from the catalina.out file) ls -lah /var/log/tomcat9/ total 792K drwxr-x--- 2 tomcat tomcat 4.0K Feb 4 14:28 . drwxrwxr-x 15 root syslog 4.0K Feb 4 06:25 .. -rw-rwxr-- 1 tomcat tomcat 0 Feb 2 06:25 catalina.out -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861881 Title: catalina.out not written to, permission issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat9/+bug/1861881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
