Oh, yes, I was wrongly assuming that you were copying all the server files, including the users.xml.
The files must be writable by the user that runs tomcat (or the app. server you use). New files will be created by him, so I'd assign to him the existing ones as well, to avoid confusions caused by having different owners for different files. Therefore, the group would be irrelevant. I would, as a general rule, avoid running the server under the root user, but that's up to you. The only important thing is that it is always started by the same user, and that all the files belong to him. Albert. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John F.
