So, I just purchased one of these:

and after installing some of this:

and a little tweaking, there is lots of nice things to come. Stay tuned!

I just recently installed a tomcat 5.5 on debian etch and ran into a slight problem. Tomcat was unable to read and/or write files with the default configuration. Tomcat was unable to access logfiles and so, unable to start the webapplications.

A little bit of research brought up an answer to the problem. Source was the Java Security Manager. It is configurable through files in /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/ but it can be very tedious, because it you have to di it explicitly for every file. If you are the only one deploying to the server you can also disable the security manager tomcatwide by editing /etc/default/tomcat5.5 and setting TOMCAT5_SECURITY to ‘no’.
