- 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.
Tomcat runs as the user tomcat. The webapp resides in a folder 'webapp' under my own home directory, so per default, the tomcat process does not have write access.
As a test, I have given +rwx to all users to webapp, webapp/WEB-INF, webapp/work directories. Still, the logikit complains that it cannot create files. under webapp/WEB-INF/logs
I'm not sure wether the tomcat process was started with a security policy, and I don't have access to the jakarta-tomcat/conf directory. I'd like to bother the administrator as little as possible, so I figure perhaps I should be doing my testing first on my own linux setup?
How difficult is it to set up a minimal linux development environment with tomcat and cocoon? Can it be done with a knoppix or mandrake livecd? Or better yet, are there any "testbed" linux distros that installs on windows as an application?
Thanks Anders
