This bug also happen on Ubuntu Server 14.04 using package tomcat7-user . References to those folders are in this file : conf/catalina.properties (in the tomcat instance) :
common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/classes,${catalina.home}/common/*.jar server.loader=${catalina.home}/server/classes,${catalina.home}/server/*.jar shared.loader=${catalina.home}/shared/classes,${catalina.home}/shared/*.jar Content of those folders appear to be optional $catalina.home is defined in : bin/setenv.sh (in the tomcat instance) So I created those folders : sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/tomcat7/common/classes sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/tomcat7/server/classes sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/tomcat7/shared/classes -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tomcat7 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1232258 Title: tomcat7 installer fails to create symbolic links To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/serverguide/+bug/1232258/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
