Description Michal Haško 2013-03-20 14:28:54 UTC

Description of problem:
Cannot create virtual host for tomcat7 rpm.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tomcat7-7.0.30-5_patch_02.ep6.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create user tomcat in tomcat-users.xml:
   <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,admin-gui,manager-gui,manager-status,manager-jmx,manager-script"/>
2. naviage to localhost:8080/host-manager/html and sign in as user tomcat
3. Add virtual host. name: "test", appbase: "testwebapps"
  
Actual results:
FAIL - Failed to create appBase [/usr/share/tomcat7/testwebapps] for host [test]

This is caused because permissions of /usr/share/tomcat7 are root:root 775.

Comment 1 Michal Haško 2013-03-20 14:34:31 UTC

I should also point out that these steps work for tomcat6 rpm, which is probably a bug as well.
For tomcat6, creation of virtual host doesn't fail and no error is written in logs, but no appbase folder is created in /usr/share/tomcat6

Comment 2 Jean-frederic Clere 2013-06-14 09:26:20 UTC

Doc Text looks ok.
