Preventing Tomcat 4 running under Mac OS X

           Summary: Preventing Tomcat 4 running under Mac OS X
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.3 Final
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps:Documentation
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mkirsten@mensa.se


The documentation clearly states that there isn't much that can go wrong 
during an installation of Tomcat 4 but there are a important difference 
between Tomcat 3.x and 4.x under (at least) Mac OS X (possibly all OS's).

After installing you need to set the rights correctly for the Tomcat folder for 
Tomcat to be able to actually run any code. If you don't - Tomcat will still 
start up and display to normal index page but will NOT be able to run any 
code (i.e. the included examples).

Sollution is to run a "chmod -R 775 $TOMCAT_HOME" for example. 
Please include this in the readme distrubuted with Tomcat.

Thank you!
