Hi Russ,

could you please list your users with a "sudo less /etc/shadow" ? I think you will see that your user is tomcat9 and not tomcat. If thats the case try to change ownership of your data folder by sudo chown -R tomcat9:tomcat9 /data

hope that helps.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

I will try a clean install to Ubuntu 18.04 with the same Java etc and see what happens.

can you paste the result of "ls -ld /data" in here, I suspect that is isn't what you think it is

    I have just done a clean installation of Ubuntu 19.04, installed
    Tomcat 9, installed OpenJDK 11 and installed GS 2.15

    I have a folder called /data to which I point GeoServer by
    editing web.xml

       <context-param>
     <param-name>GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR</param-name>
     <param-value>/data/</param-value>
        </context-param>

    Now when I start GeoServer I get an error in /var/log/syslog
    saying /data is not writeable !

    Apr 25 15:14:05 hostname tomcat9[13480]: 25 Apr 15:14:05 ERROR
    [storage.DefaultStorageFinder] - Found Servlet context parameter
    GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR set to /data/ , which is not writeable

    Tomcat is running as user ‘tomcat’. The /data folder is owned by
    tomcat with permissions 777 (I know that is not the best but I
    am trying to get things working)

    I have tried setting the data folder in her setclasspath.sh

    CATALINA_OPTS="-DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/data"

    But I get the same error.

    Has anybody else seen this?

    Russ
