Tomcat deploy error

deploymentfile-permissionstomcat

When deploying an application with the Tomcat manager I get the following error:

FAIL – Failed to deploy application at context path /prademo

Tomcat log shows:

INFO: HTMLManager: install: Installing context configuration at '/home//webapps/PRA/META-INF/context.xml' from '/home//webapps/PRA' java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/dstefan/webapps/PRA/META-INF/context.xml (Permission denied)

Permission to what? Both PRA and contex.xml have -rwxrwxrwx.

Thanks!

Ok, the answer is simple - permision denied means I had to fix the permisions to any of the folders on path to the context.xml file. Should've though twice before posting this question really. Hope someone else will find this useful one day!

Looks like the class loader is unable to load the classes and it might be a permissions issue due to SELinux.

Can you try running the embedded version of Hudson, just to clear out that it can work on your system?

Tomcat deployment overwrites context.xml

The setup up I'm currently working with has multiple contexts running the same webapp and each context has different database settings (similar to your setup except each context is running on a different server).

Instead of including the context.xml file in META-INF you can create a context.xml specifically for each instance on each server and put it in the $TOMCAT_ROOT$/conf/Catalina/localhost. When Tomcat starts the context any settings in the Catalina/localhost/context.xml will override those set in your web app (either through your WEB-INF/web.xml file or your META-INF/context.xml file).

We have had some small issues with this however were Parameters defined in the Catalina/localhost/context.xml are not properly overriding the ones defined in the web app but this is easily resolved by adding the override attribute to the Parameter node like so:

<Parameter name="foo" value="bar" override="1"/>

The docs for tomcat contexts describes a lot of this in more detail.
