What's the console output? how far did you get before you encounter that

well, it some sort of directory problem. damn if I can figure it out.

Any ideas... as I said, I 777 the dev tree, no luck.
My home directory is correctly set by default to 700. Meaning /home is neither world readable or executable. Opps!
Setting /home/tstone to 755 fixed the problem. Doh!
But that is not a recommended solution. :D Moving the dev tree somewhere safer for 755.
Many thanks again! Thanks for the patience as well.

Many thanks, Tim

List,
I did an archive search. Nothing meaningful returned, so I'm posting what must be a regular question.
I can get a development tree to install via the Manager interface, but I can't get it started. This seems to be a UNIX problem at the moment.
For example on Windoze:
Install directory or WAR file located on server
Context Path (optional): /foobar
XML Configuration file URL: WAR or Directory URL: file:c:/path/to/foobar/dev
will load and start.
The very same application on Linux/Mac OS X:
Install directory or WAR file located on server
Context Path (optional): /foobar XML Configuration file URL: WAR or Directory URL: file:/home/user/path/to/foobar/dev
will load, but consistently fails to start.
The error, not explained in the Manager documentation anywhere BTW :
FAIL - Application at context path /foobar could not be started
What I can't figure out is this very application will work with the catalina.ant tasks! Windoze or Unix. So the problem seems to be with the HTML interface.
So, what's the trick? Anyone? Oh, I did 777 the dev tree. Didn't help. :(
Many thanks, Tim
No one can field this? Maybe I'm too close. Nothing is working now. Not the ant task not the manager interface. Nothing.
The answer is not obvious to me. Nothing seems to be logging anywhere for me to debug it.
Many thanks again, Tim
