Description Michal Haško 2013-06-26 13:14:58 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #923825 +++

Description of problem:
There are wrong permissions on /usr/share/tomcat6 in RHEL5. As a result, it is not possible to create virtual host through the host-manager webapp, because tomcat user cannot create a directory in /usr/share/tomcat6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tomcat6-6.0.37-8_patch_01.ep6.el5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
ls -ld /usr/share/tomcat6
  
Permissions are:
drwxrwxr-x root:root

But should be:
drwxrwxr-x root:tomcat

Comment 5 Michal Haško 2014-07-17 15:34:00 UTC

Fails on tomcat6-6.0.41-2_patch_01.ep6.el5

# ls -ld /usr/share/tomcat6
drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 17 11:26 /usr/share/tomcat6

Comment 9 Coty Sutherland 2015-11-23 19:27:40 UTC

Tested in the latest tomcat6 package on RHEL 5:

[root@rhel5 ~]# rpm -qa tomcat6
tomcat6-6.0.41-15_patch_04.ep6.el5
[root@rhel5 ~]# ls -ld /usr/share/tomcat6
drwxrwxr-x 3 root tomcat 4096 Nov 23 14:07 /usr/share/tomcat6

Additionally, JWS 3 isn't supported on RHEL 5 and doesn't provided tomcat6, so I'm not sure what the doctext is about...

I tested tomcat7 on RHEL 6 and verified it's good to go:

[root@rhel6 ~]# rpm -qa tomcat7
tomcat7-7.0.59-26_patch_00.ep7.el6.noarch
[root@rhel6 ~]# ls -ld /usr/share/tomcat7
drwxrwxr-x. 3 root tomcat 4096 Nov 23 14:23 /usr/share/tomcat
