Hi Parha, never ever run tomcat as root - that's a security-issue.
I hope you haven't followed the hint to chmod to 777 - that's anything but a good idea. to solve the issue, procceed like this: - as root , do - create a user tomcat - chown -R tomcat /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.18 - su tomcat - cd /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin - ./startup.sh If you want to run Tomcat on a privileged port such as 80, you'll have to use jsvc. More information on unning Tomcat on port 80 is found here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html (look for Unix-Demon) HTH Gregor -- just because your paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you... gpgp-fp: 79A84FA526807026795E4209D3B3FE028B3170B2 gpgp-key available @ http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de:11371 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
