Hi Elias, That directory will also need "group write" permission set. Best way to work through this problem is to "sudo" to the userid that will be running tomcat, then try and create a file in that directory from the shell. If it is the group write that is missing, this command will add it: chmod g+w /var/lib/tomcat7 But that is not where you should be writing logs. /var/log is a conventional place to keep logs. What is your log4j configuration?
