Thanks guys , I'll try a fresh install tonight and attempt to run JUST from my /usr/local and report back to the list my results. Samuel.

Don't make your life more complicated than it needs to be. Remove whatever you've done to install Tomcat, download a fresh .tar.gz file (7.0.28 is now available), and just do what Chris said: 1. Download tarball 2. Un-tar tarball $ bin/startup.sh - Chuck +1 Is there a reason you are trying to install to /Library/Tomcat and /usr/local? or is it just because that is what the tutorial you found is doing? If you're doing development, it's easy enough to just run Tomcat from your user directory.

Re: apache-tomcat-7.0.27 start up errors on Mac OX Lion
This afternoon I did a reinstall at /usr/local and still am not able to get it started. No system links this time. Interestingly enough I had to create a log directory. Package did not include one. Easy enough. I'll try your new install recommend, but I still like to know why it won't load from /usr /local where others apparently have no problem. Thanks again ! Samuel.

Just install it into ~/apache-tomcat-7.0.27 and call it a day. You won't have to worry about file permissions or any of that stuff because a) you will untar it as yourself and b) you will run it as yourself. Just be aware that he effective uid must have wrx access to work/, logs/, and probably temp/ That's why it's best to run it as yourself. Also, not running as root gives you a significant security boost because in the unlikely event of a Tomcat vulnerability, only your account can be trashed, not the entire machine. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/iS+0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PClbgCcDXLBC+IeobtWd9igtseYCxCV RcEAnRgtHnxpOxpSqOpVLW0Rq2cF54BY =ZtN6 -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
