Thanks. Sorry to continue with the dumb questions, but that said,: - I see that I don't have the ability to run Tomcat as myself, having installed it as root and not changed any permissions. I spose that most people create a new, local, user "xwiki" or "tomcat_user", and install and run the software as that user? - Do most people run Tomcat or something else? - Do most people install Xwiki from WAR or using the standalone? Thinkin I should start over .. -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Mortagne Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2017 11:47 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Stopping Xwiki-8.4.3/Tomcat-9.0 and integrating with systemctl On Thu, Mar 9, 2017 at 12:11 AM, Douglas Landau <[email protected]> wrote:
One more tip: you actually shouldn't run Tomcat as root, this could get messy pretty fast. Thanks!
- In fact I installed Tomcat and xwiki as root. I guess someone else should own the files?
- I would like to run tomcat/xwiki on port 80. Do I need to run as root to do that? Do I need to set up some privsep user such that it starts as root and then SU's to a lesser user, like ssh does?
It's indeed possible Tomcat require root to use port 80. At least on Linux. Usually what most people do is put Apache on Nginx in front of Tomcat on port 80 and keep Tomcat on port 8080.
Thx again. Doug
