Hi Ricardo, Many thanks for your answer. I am not sure what I have to do. When John is talking about admin id, is he thinking about root? On my Mac Leopard, I am logged as normal user (lets say 'guest', without any administrative rights). I have another account to be able to perform administrative tasks. As http://www.malisphoto.com/tips/tomcatonosx.html is suggesting, I changed the owner of the Tomcat directory to 'guest:admin'. Is this the problem? Should I perform a 'chown -R root:admin Tomcat'.
My 'Tomcat5.sh' file (used to start 'jsvc') partly looks as following: ... JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home CATALINA_HOME=/Library/Tomcat/Home DAEMON_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME/bin TOMCAT_USER=christianr ... Should I change here the 'TOMCAT_USER' variable? I tried 'root' but this did not solve the problem.
