Hi,

I hope someone could help me sort out some of the problems I'm experiencing when deploying my cocoon webapp to a linux server.

I'm developing and testing my cocoon 2.1 webapp under windows XP/Tomcat 4.1.29, and it works great.

Now that it's done, Im going to deploy the whole thing to a server where I have my homepage account. It's a linux server, running Tomcat 4.1.27 through Apache. I have stumbled across a couple of problems, most of which I blame on not being all that linux-literate.

- The WEB-INF/work and logs directories are not created when the webapp loads, probably a problem with file access. What directories and permissions do I need to give to the user running the tomcat process?

- I have some small dynamic images made with svg and svg2jpeg, which will not render. I have read some things about problems with batik on headless setups, but also that It should not be a problem since jdk 1.4. Where do I start looking for the problem?

The only traces of errors I can find are in the /etc/jakarta-tomcat/logs/catalina.out , where cocoon complains about not being able to create the log files.

I also have some problems with xsp-actions, but I figure these errors are just following from the write-access problems (i.e. the /work directory needs to be created before an xsp will work)? Am I correct?

I was hoping to be able to merely upload the whole directory structure from the windows machine to the linux machine, but unfortunately this was not the case (how naive). :)
The server administrator is a busy person, and there are loads of other webapps running in the same tomcat process, so I'd rather not be experimenting to much with it either.


Thanks for any pointers to 'how-to-deploy-your-cocoon-app-on-linux-without-headaches' docs.

Regards

Anders
