Running tomcat as limited user (MS Windows)
I must have had this problem before but can't remember how I solved it.
I normally run as a limited user. I installed tomcat okay (simply
switching to an administrator account to do so) but trying to start
the server results in
java.util.logging.ErrorManager: 4
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
C:\Programme\Develop\CC_EnterpriseClient\server\t
omcat\logs\catalina.2009-08-23.log (Zugriff verweigert)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.openAppend(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FileWriter.<init>(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.juli.FileHandler.open(FileHandler.java:259)
at org.apache.juli.FileHandler.<init>(FileHandler.java:59)
at org.apache.juli.FileHandler.<init>(FileHandler.java:50
Basically, the user I am logged in as does not have permission to
write to the logs directory, and I would assume the same problem will
occur with the webapps directory when I try to deploy what I am
developing.
Any ideas how to solve this?

If your not running professional but home edition.
You will probably need cacls and net to perform the required operations.
cacls to change permissions and net to alter groups and users.
To take ownership, this can only easily be done through the gui (the
security tab and click away...windows style ;-))

Ah - you hadn't said Windows XP, so I'd assumed a server-class OS! Yes, XP
comes with brain-damaged "simple file sharing" turned on by default, which
both hides and breaks the normal Windows file permissions model.
Glad you found it.

Ah... Yes. After quite a bit of f..iddling about, I see it is. That
works fine. Thanks, Peter.

Add write permission on those directories for the account under which you're
running Tomcat?
