Hello Kevin If Tomcat is producing a permission denied it is *usually* 1)permissions from the file or folder where you are executing does not have that access 2)Apache htaccess hasnt granted (although you didnt mention you were running Apache so I doubt this is the problem) 3)a specific grant is needed such as a grant is necessary for RuntimePermission (etc) in catalina.policy ditto for server.policy for AppServers such as Jrun etc
We dont know the specifics of your environment but I surmise we would all would like to know the solution nonetheless Martin ********************************************************************* This email message and any files transmitted with it contain confidential information intended only for the person(s) to whom this email message is addressed.

Then a client noticed that the administrative application was no longer shipped in tomcat by default, and so I went to the apache tomcat site and downloaded the administrative web application. After installing it, when I start tomcat, I see this message: SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor admin.xml followed immediately by: SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor admin.xml java.io.FileNotFoundException: /local/apps/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/conf/Catalina/localhost/admin.xml (EDC5111I Permission denied) The message seems pretty plain, but when I look at the admin.xml file, it has permissions of 755. So, can anybody tell me what the problem might be? Kevin Mullin Sr. Analyst IBM Corporation (206) 345-7068 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
