Tomcat6 Manager App on 11.3

English Network/Internet
#1

Hi. I’m trying to use Manager App inside Tomcat on a 11.3 fresh install without success. Packages installed:

zypper se -i tomcat

Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…

Configuration done:

<role rolename=“role1”/>

<user username=“both” password=“tomcat” roles=“tomcat,role1”/>
<user username=“role1” password=“tomcat” roles=“role1”/>
<user username=“TomCatAdmin” password=“password” roles=“manager,admin,probeuser”/>
</tomcat-users>

Any ideas?

Well,

why does the manager app fail?
So what do you do? Any error messages? Anything in the log files?
As far as i know does tomcat provide a lot of information.

Sorry my incomplete post. Some logs:

When I start tomcat (rctomcat6 start): catalina.out:

SEVERE: The scratchDir you specified: /usr/share/tomcat6/work/Catalina/localhost/_ is unusable.

for whatever it is, theres the failure.
Maybe you should look at the directory given in the conf file.
Or maybe change permissions.

#5

In /usr/share/tomcat6 you can find the log directory. There’ll be just one, catalina.out. What I did was
/etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
Then I erased catalina.out.
Then
/etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
Looking in catalina.out you’ll see the permission errors. I went in and changed the owner to tomcat on those directories.

I got manager to run but not host_manager.

This should be fixed. It’s a security risk to have people like me going into /etc and messing with permissions. :slight_smile:

#6

Hi dougnc. Could you do me a favor? Please, run this command line just to compare:

rpm -qa --qf "%{N} %{ARCH}
" | egrep ‘(tomcat|java)’ | sort

Sure.

#8

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml (Permission denied)

See, that’s what I was talking about. I had to change the owner of all those directories up to tomcat6 to tomcat.

Of course, don’t change the owner on etc. :slight_smile:

Then you have to do the same on all the other permission problems.

#9

I did that and it really worked!

Thank you very much.

#10

Which is those directories?
I see the log
The scratchDir you specified:
> /usr/share/tomcat6/work/Catalina/localhost/soc is unusable

And this directory doesnt even exist, so what do I do?

#11

-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 885 May 12 15:27 host-manager.xml
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 885 May 12 15:27 manager.xml
-rw-r–r-- 1 tomcat tomcat 84 May 25 20:43 soc.xml

soc is the deployment that is not working in my case.
