Hi André, Yes, it's under "Local System". I think you are right. It's because of the "access" problem.
That's why all the errors are related to read/write access to the target directory. Thank you for your clues. -----Original Message----- From: André Warnier [mailto:a...@ice-sa.com] Sent: 12 August 2013 15:39 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: How Tomcat6 access a remote directory on the network(NetApp) Rudiyono RUDIYONO wrote: > Hello Tomcat experts, > > I'm using Tomcat6 on my web application which is running on Windows Server > 2003 Standard Edition. > I want to access static files (PDF) in the remote directory on the disk > server (NetApp) through http address from web browser. > I tried to use Windows shortcut, but It didn't work.

If you have installed Tomcat in the standard way, Tomcat will run as a Service, under a user-id "LocalSystem". In Windows, this special user-id has no access to Windows "network resources" such as network-mapped drives etc.. In order for Tomcat to be able to access such drives, you will need to use a "domain user" to run the Tomcat Service. This may or may not be your problem, but it is something that you should probably check first. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
