Unable to unpack war under webapps
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

Do not *ever* run Tomcat as root. Read this:

Thanks Daniel.. That clue helped... tomcat was running as a different user
and I tried to start using root.

What about the owner of webapps? Is that the same as the user you’re using to run Tomcat? Can that user extract the files?

Who is listed as owner/group on the webapps directory?
What user is Tomcat running under?
