Situation - I am installing tomcat and running it on port 8080. However, it is currently being started by the root user and I need to change that. If I just run the startup script as user 'foo', I get errors because it can't read various config files in the conf directory, can't write to the logs directory etc.
Because having once run as root, all directories and files /created by/ Tomcat are owned by root. If you reinstalled and initially started it as user 'foo', everything would be owned by foo. So either reinstall, or change ownership of everything to 'foo'.
