Hi,

"Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/ipt/WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties read)"

Did you try to change the permissions in your webapps folder? A "savage" solution would be "chmod -R 777 ipt/"

Selon "Smith, Gregory D" gsmith@ku.edu:

In an attempt to make IPT behave with Ubuntu I have set up Tomcat 5.5...

Here are the specs: Tomcat Version: Apache Tomcat/5.5 JVM Version: 1.5.0_16-b02 JVM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. OS: Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Kernel: 2.6.27-7-server Arch: i386

IPT still does not load.

I have included the log files from a tomcat restart so you can look at the log files.

Hi Greg,

It should be ok, but has not been tried. So far I have installed on Redhat, Fedorra, Linux, Mac Windows XP and Vista but on a variety of Tomcat 5.X and 6.X.

Please can you post the catalina.out log from a fresh tomcat startup and we should be able to diagnose?

I suspect that there is a suspicious xml-apis.jar floating around on the tomcat classpath which happens with some distributions of Tomcat.

Also please check the java version - the IPT requires Java5.

Cheers,

Tim

We have had no luck setting up the IPT on tomcat 6 on ubuntu. Has anyone else had any luck or is this a known issue?

Hi,

This looks like a security feature with Tomcat on Ubuntu. I am not sure if the policy file is created at startup with Ubuntu from the webapps policy file or if it uses the catalina.policy... so I can't be 100% specific, but will be able to point in the right direction.

Let's try the catalina policy first.

Please find /var/lib/tomcat5.5/conf/catalina.policy (I think it is this on your installation)

and add:

// IPT webapp permission grant codebase "file:/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/ipt/-" { permission java.io.FilePermission "/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/ipt/-", "read,write,delete"; permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write"; permission java.util.logging.LoggingPermission "control"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getClassLoader"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "preferences"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "shutdownHooks"; permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks"; }; // Geoserver webapp permissions grant codebase "file:/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/geoserver/-" { permission java.io.FilePermission "/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/geoserver/data/-", "read,write,delete"; permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write"; permission java.util.logging.LoggingPermission "control"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getClassLoader"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "preferences"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "shutdownHooks"; permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks"; };

If the catalina.policy route does not work, then it could well be in /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/04webapps.policy

Please always post the catalina.log in order to diagnose.

Hope this helps,

Tim
