I'm doing some testing using Ubuntu server 14.04.1 and DSpace 4.2
Ubuntu's package manager creates a service user, tomcat7, for running Tomcat.
So instead of fighting with Ubuntu, I am using that user to run the Tomcat
service. Also, I have created a Linux user account, dspace, that I log into the
server with.
Is it OK that I did my Maven/Ant build/install using my normal user, dspace,
and then gave ownership and permissions of all of my dspace files to the
Tomcat user, tomcat7?
Ubuntu gives the tomcat7 user a home directory of "/usr/share/tomcat7" and a
shell of "/bin/false", so without changing the user I am unable to do any
building with it. Would it be better if I were to assign "/home/tomcat7" to my
Tomcat service user so it can do the build, or is there some reason that the
Ubuntu package manager has assigned "/usr/share/tomcat7" as the home directory?
I don't want to break the service user account, and I don't want to cause some
problem down the road by doing the build/install with a normal user.
Thanks for any info!
