Hi, Couple of hours(3 hrs) back I did yum update to install 7.0.82 version to install latest security patch.
Yum update went well. Then tried to install ROOT war, after stopping and un deploying existing ROOT.war. Deployment failed saying that ROOT folder already exists. So deleted ROOT folder and ROOT.war from the web apps folder. After this step, tomcat 7 seems to be not starting for some reason and neither its writing to logs anything. I think I messed something very badly. How do I figure this out. Do I need to do clean install again via wget ? I hate to say that my linux skills are very rusty. so appreciate some help. [root]# sudo service tomcat7 start [root]# [ OK ] [root]# sudo service tomcat7 status [root]# s not running [WARNING] whenever I try to restart , the only place it writes is tomcat7-initd.log /usr/sbin/tomcat7: line 40: /usr/share/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out: Permission denied and permissions I have on this folder is drwxr-xr-x 2 ec2-user ec2-user 12288 Oct 27 02:07 /usr/share/tomcat7/logs/ Thanking you Kiran Badi
