+++ 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
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
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
