[SOLVED] Tomcat 6 Permissions Issues When Upgrading java-jsvc

AimelyneM · 2011-09-05 08:27:12

Hi folks,

I'd like a second opinion on an issue I've run into, because I'm fairly new to Tomcat, and thus may be missing something obvious.

I upgraded java-jsvc to the next version available from Arch (1.0.7) as part of a routine box-wide upgrade. From that point, Tomcat started complaining that it didn't have the right permissions to read either manager.xml or host-manager.xml, under /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/. Perms look OK though: Catalina's mode is 0755 for tomcat:tomcat, so is localhost's; manager.xml and host-manager.xml, under localhost, are both 0644 for tomcat:tomcat. /etc/tomcat6/ is set to mode 0770 for root:root, which was the case previously as well. Nothing appears to have changed on that front as part of the upgrade.

Tomcat failed to deploy the web application directory host-manager (dixit catalina.err), and as a result I couldn't access the manager app anymore (got a 404 error page telling me the requested resource wasn't available).

Downgrading java-jsvc to the last known working version (1.0.6) solved the issue, so at first glance it looks like there may be a problem with the newest version of java-jsvc. Accordingly, I plan on reporting a bug upstream. Am I missing something?

Dump of catalina.err for the last restart of Tomcat follows.

Cheers,

UPDATE 26/09/2011

The issue reported above is fixed in tomcat6 6.0.33-3 and tomcat7 7.0.21-2. Thanks to the maintainer :-)

Note that if you upgrade from a previous version of either Tomcat 6 or 7, Pacman will warn you that the permissions set on the corresponding directory hierarchy (/etc/{tomcat6|tomcat7}) of the filesystem differ from those specified by the package, leaving you to alter the former yourself after the install.

For more info, see here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-217

In short: it wasn't a bug, it was a fix :-)

I'm having the same trouble with tomcat7. Downgrading also solved it for me.
