Tomcat 6.0.18 empties tomcat-users.xml
Hi,
I installed Tomcat 6.0.18 on
Mac OS 10.4.11 / java version "1.5.0_16" and
Ubuntu Hardy / java version "1.6.0_06"
and in both cases I get the following strange behaviour:
Before starting, $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml contains the
default user entries.
After starting Tomcat, $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml is pretty
much empty and looks like
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
</tomcat-users>
The log files do not show any error message.
My installation procedure was: unpack the tar file, cd to
$CATALINA_HOME, fire up bin/startup.sh.
Anything I did do completely wrong ?
kind regards
Robert

Hi,
thanks a lot, you are right, they are commented out and I did not see
that.
At least for me it was a bit unexpected that Tomcat clears at
least parts of a configuration file, but thats OK.
best regards
Robert

Look again - they're all commented out.

That's expected behavior. If you don't want Tomcat to rewrite the file on startup, set the readonly attribute to "true" in the <Resource> element for UserDatabase in the conf/server.xml file.
