The "Catalina" directory gets installed when you install one of the applications packages (tomcat6-examples, tomcat6-docs, tomcat6-admin...). But you're right, it should be created by the tomcat6 package itself.
The question of making that directory writable by the tomcat6 user is a question of security/policy/feature tradeoff... So far we made the choice of not allowing Tomcat 6 to modify files below /etc by itself (and by doing so, we break some of the admin webapps features). However I didn't thought we were breaking autodeployment. Just to be clear, by "autodeploying" you mean put WAR files into the appBase directory ? I thought tomcat would unpack those, but not copy the context.xml file to conf/Catalina/localhost. -- Tomcat 6 missing directory "Catalina" in /etc/tomcat6 - so impossible to deploy webapp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
