Can't load server.xml

[Ali Kassem <AK...@bdl.gov.lb>]

Hi,

 

I amusing tomcat 5.5.9 with fedora (linux), and I am using jdk 1.5.0_06

The CATALINA_HOME, JAVA_HOME are defined,

When I try to startup the tomcat as root user every thing is ok, it
start (with port 8080)

But when I create a new user with permissions to logs and work
directories, and try to startup the tomcat I get this message:

In Catalina.out

How about permissions to the conf directory?

First thing I'd try is to log in as this new user and try to open server.xml 
in an editor. If this doesn't work then you propably haven't got the 
permissions entirely right.
