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.
- 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?
Well, Tomcat will be started as a specific user; I usually install a tomcat user, but this must not be the case, and is probably not even the recommended way. however: the user under which tomcat is startes should have write rights to these directories.
- 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?
it is true, that it became easier under 1.4, but afaik you have to start java with the appropriate headless parameter: check the java JRE documentation, or search the Cocoon wiki, I assume, there is an easy solution for this.
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?
yes, the XSPs are compiled into the work directory. again: check the access rights as mentioned above.
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.
this is hard to assume, because if tomcat has no write-rights to work, also other JSPs will not compile?!
maybe your webapps directory has not the correct read rights? so that you added the files with your user/group and tomcat cannot read it?!
