Description Leif Gruenwoldt 2011-10-21 17:44:34 UTC

Description of problem:

My system just auto updated (only does that for security fixes) and now Tomcat won't serve up anything.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Updated from tomcat6-6.0.32-5.fc15.noarch to tomcat6-6.0.32-8.fc15.noarch.


How reproducible:

Everytime.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Browse to http://localhost:8080/
  
Actual results:

"The requested resource () is not available."

Expected results:

The tomcat welcome screen.


Additional info:

None of my installed webapps work either.


Some info from /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out

Comment 1 Andy Madsen 2011-10-25 11:45:56 UTC

I was able to reproduce this bug. New installs of Tomcat6 do not fix the problem.

This was a working configuration until Sunday, 10/25/2011, and then just nothing.

Fedora 15
SELinux Disabled

Comment 2 David Knox 2011-10-25 15:38:10 UTC

I traced this down to a directory permission problem. /var/lib/tomcat6 requires group permission +x (0775). The correction will be posted on bodhi today. 

The permissions on basedir have been 0765 since at least May.

Comment 3 Leif Gruenwoldt 2011-10-25 15:50:16 UTC

Yes, `sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/tomcat6/` fixed things here. Thankyou!
