I solved it on my XP machine by assigning the same account to the service as I´m using when logging in normally. Weird thing is that it didn´t work on my win2k machine, same error as before pops up. If someone knows why, don´t hesitate to tell me, but I guess that´s a question for a win-mailing list. thanks for your help! /s -----Original Message----- From: JT Neville [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 12/13/2005 11:03 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Specifying an appBase on a shared disc You need to go to advanced or custom most likely on the security tab not the file share tab depending on the OS you are running. -----Original Message----- From: Svante Kumlien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 1:57 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Specifying an appBase on a shared disc Hi! Yes, it´s running as a service and it´s logging on as Local System account. But I'm not sure how/where to give this account rights? I'm also not sure how to specify the local machine on the share, on the LaCie disc I'm only able to define 'generic' users, no machine specific stuff (like Admin/xxxxx as id/pwd). Thanks Svante -----Original Message----- From: JT Neville [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 13 december 2005 22:29 To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Specifying an appBase on a shared disc Just give whatever account the service is executing on "run as a service" rights as well as specifying the local machine on the share with the correct rights. -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 1:18 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Specifying an appBase on a shared disc > From: Svante Kumlien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Specifying an appBase on a shared disc > > Bought a network disc yesteraday (LaCie 500Gb), connected it to my > network and thought I could put my tiny jsp-based site there.

If so, it won't be able to access network drives, since those are associated specifically with your Windows account. Don't know if there's a way to do a permanent mount for all users, including whatever account Tomcat is running under. You might be able to do it with a UNC name rather than a drive letter, but I haven't tried it. - Chuck --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
