well, the first thing I'd try (assuming tomcat is run as user "tomcat" and user "tomcat" belongs to group "tomcat":
- logon as root - stop tomcat - assuming tomcat-directory in /home/tomcat: chown -R tomcat:tomcat /home/tomcat su tomcat rm /home/tomcat/webapps/YOURAPP.WAR rm -rf /home/tomcat/webapps/YOURAPP restart tomcat (still as user tomcat!) re-deploy your app (still as user tomcat) if the tomcat-home-directory on your machine is different, change the above statements accordingly. if the tomcat-user is different from user "tomcat", change above statements accordingly. if user "tomcat" belongs to a different group than "tomcat", change above statements accordingly. maybe you'd like to ask a colleque to help who knows his ways within unix / linux. cheers greg -- what's puzzlin' you, is the nature of my game gpgp-fp: 79A84FA526807026795E4209D3B3FE028B3170B2 gpgp-key available @ http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de:11371 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
