http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8079 Tomcat cannot start if appBase directory is accessable but not readable. Summary: Tomcat cannot start if appBase directory is accessable but not readable. Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.3 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I encounter a problem where my appBase is set to a directory, which only has the accessible permission (not readable) to the tomcat user. This cause tomcat to generate a "NullExceptionPointer" exception during its startup. After tracing trough the source code, the root cause is in "HostConfig.java" line 273 where a null file[] object that is referenced is null. This is because the code try to call the File.list() function to get a list of files in the appBase directory. Is this really neccessary? What happen if I do not want anyone to have "readablity" to my appBase except the directory's owner? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
