Robert, remember tomcat itself needs to edit certain files in there when you config geoserver via the web, so watch out there.
my 2c would be that while it's possible play with permissions on the www folder/files in the geoserver data dir you'd be better off (in my opinion) spending a little time migrating any static content to a dir visible via apache (your /~user/ dir ?) and editing that instead. having apache in front (proxying requests to tomcat/geoserver) gives you lots of nice abilities and leaves tomcat free to just do geoserver stuff. -i Le 17/02/2011 16:53, Robert Buckley a écrit : > Hi, > > set-up > ubuntu 10.04 > tomcat6 > java-6-sun > > I am having the following problem.
