Basic Toimcat5.5 admin question
Hi guys,
I finally got Tomcat5.5 going on Etch AMD and I start studying the JSP developers guide but I get stuck in the beginning. The book says to create a new directory under ROOT but I don't have permission in my default account. The last install I did a chgrp /user/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT www-data (this is the apache usser in Debian) but I screwed the package up so bad that I re-installed the system. Could anyone tell me how the is typically done?
Thanks.
Chris

The mind reels -- how could using `chgrp` "screw up the package"??
It's a basic sysadmin command...

Dunno about "typically" but I `chown` all my webapps folders to my
own userid; `chgrp` should work, if you prefer that. Or `su` to the id
of the folder owner.
FWIW,

option 1: change to a user who does have permission
option 2: install tomcat somewhere your user has permission (see below)
option 3: read a linux manual*
it sounds alarmingly like you've installed an RPM or distribution of
some sort. we generally don't recommend that, instead get a freshly
built, up to date release from tomcat.apache.org and unpack it in a
suitable directory.
p
* if you screwed a distribution by changing a permission on a dir I'd be
surprised, but then if you did that you ought to be doing a lot more
reading before you try again...
