Linux: TDK vs. Apache-Tomcat4

Hi all,

I am trying (for the first time) to set up Newapp on a Linux box.

I started by loading tdk-2.1 and hitting http://myhost:8080/test/servlet/test, and all was 
well. 

However, when I try the same application on my ISP's Apache-Tomcat4 installation, I get:

PANIC : Error configuring AvalonLogSystem : java.io.FileNotFoundException: 
/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/logs/velocity.log (Permission denied)

(StandardWrapper.java:916)

I tried adding the following permission to site1.policy.custom:

grant codeBase "file:/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/WEB-INF/lib/-" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

and I also tried the individual jar files:

grant codeBase "file:/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/WEB-INF/lib/velocity-1.2-
dev.jar" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/WEB-INF/lib/turbine-
2.1.jar" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.1.jar" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

but it still fails as above.

My environment:
Apache/1.3.22
Tomcat4.0.3
Turbine 2.1

Has anyone come across this?  Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Regards,
Kevin McKenzie

Doh!   I had run catalina as root at some stage, which means that 
velocity.log and turbine.log were created by root.  I deleted these 
files then restarted catalina and new log files were created.

Now I am getting java.lang.IllegalStateException: Current state = 
FLUSHED, new state = CODING_END, but I saw posting from 
March suggesting that this is an issue with Tomcat4.0.3 and  
JDK1.4, so I will try JDK1.3.

Now you're testing my Linux knowledge - I used chmod ugo+w on 
the /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/logs directory to make it 
wide open.  Catalina is being run by a user called tomcat4.  I don't 
know how to check this user's privileges, but I hoped that setting 
write permission on the log directory would do it.

Does the user that is running catalina have the file system privileges
necessary to create the above file?

Cheers,

Scott
