Thanks for your suggests Juha. Managed it by using ACLs. Default group rights are rw now for the webapps folder and Tomcat is unpacking with rw for the group now.
I will check the umask from tomcat in the evening, but the ACL solution seems to be quicker and safer, because I can set the permissions for every virtual host if I've got the need for it and leave the default permissions for those who don't need this "feature". --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
