Hi I have put ROOT.war under webapps folder of tomcat. When I start the instance I am getting the below error on catalina.out.
INFO: Deploying web application archive /opt/tomcat-proxy/webapps/ROOT.war May 06, 2014 6:28:22 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig beforeStart SEVERE: Exception fixing docBase for context [/ROOT] java.io.IOException: Unable to create the directory [/opt/tomcat-proxy/webapps/ROOT] I am not sure why this is happening. Checked the permissions on webapps folder as well as the war file. Its 755. P.S: I am able to use jar to unpack it manually under webapps. Any help would be much appreciated. -- Thanks, Regards, Rahul R
