Unable to open resource: $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/cocoon.properties

[Darko Zivkovic <da...@sigma-systems.com>]

Greetings,

One more very new user with probable configuration problem:
I am trying to follow instructions (from very good book "Java and XML" -
Bertt McLaughlin) to set stand alone Tomcat and Cocoon 1.8.

Running Test sample returns:

Unable to open resource:
/home/darkoz/xml/jakarta-tomcat/conf/cocoon.properties

        java.io.FileNotFoundException:

/home/darkoz/xml/jakarta-tomcat/conf/cocoon.properties is with read all
privileges.
What could be reason for referencing following PATH in exception:
/home/darkoz/xml/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/ROOT/home/darkoz/xml/jakarta-tomcat/
conf/cocoon.properties where file is in /home/darkoz/xml/jakarta-tomcat/conf
?? 

web.xml fragment is :
