It is possible to run as non root (assume the "root" here is "root" for Unix/Linux?) you can create a specific user say "tomcat" but still assign with group root, or you can create group "tomcat", make sure your jdk is accessible by the tomcat user and or group
Is you mean the root application in tomcat, yes you can, simply copy your web app structure (index.*, WEB-INF .... ) into root, or you can modify the server.xml baseDoc pointing to / but not webapps, so when you type xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080, it will start up your application .... Not sure whether it is what you are asking.. On 8/1/06, Paul McMahon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Is it possible to run Tomcat as non ROOT (desirable as I see from FAQs/other threads), but have a servlet that needs ROOT access? Or is the solution to have the servlet application code running as a separate daemon outside tomcat, with some form of comms to tomcat servlet when tasks need to be done? -Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
