Hi Ricardo,
Many thanks for your answer. I am not sure what I have to do.
When John is talking about admin id, is he thinking about root? On my
Mac Leopard, I am logged as
normal user (lets say 'guest', without any administrative rights). I
have another account to be able to
perform administrative tasks. As http://www.malisphoto.com/tips/tomcatonosx.html
is suggesting, I changed the owner of the Tomcat directory to
'guest:admin'. Is this the problem?
Should I perform a 'chown -R root:admin Tomcat'.
My 'Tomcat5.sh' file (used to start 'jsvc') partly looks as following:
...
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
CATALINA_HOME=/Library/Tomcat/Home
DAEMON_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME/bin
TOMCAT_USER=christianr
...
Should I change here the 'TOMCAT_USER' variable? I tried 'root' but
this did not solve the problem.
Best,
christian

Hi Christian,
Following the instructions given at
http://www.malisphoto.com/tips/tomcatonosx.html, I was able to get my
Tomcat container started
as daemon. I already put the Xwiki WAR file in the 'webapps'
directory. Pointing the browser to http://localhost:8080/xwiki only
gave
me a blank page. Nothing on it. However manually starting Tomcat
brings me back the correct behavior (the well known Xwiki starting
page).
In the daemon mode, the others contexts (like 'manager', 'examples')
work. Only the Xwiki one did not. What am I doing wrong? Does
anyone already have some experience with a Xwiki in a daemon started
Tomcat container? Attached, you will find the 'jsvc' processes
started and 'catalina.out'. Tell me if you need more information.
I can just confirm this behaviour and share with you a couple of
messages that John Malis (jmalis(a)malisphoto.com) sent to me last
October 2008 on this issue. I've not been able to work on this issue
since then. I do hope they could be useful for you!

Hello Ricardo,
I just use the admin id since I just use OS X for development. When
you
create and unpack the tomcat executables as admin, everything will
have
read/write access and admin ownership with read/write access. You can
set up your own system id specifically for Tomcat. Look at the mysql
instructions on how to do it. Just give ownership to that id to
everything in the Tomcat directory and make sure the owner has
read/write access to everything. (chown -R). Maybe give admin group or
admin id to the Tomcat directory group permissions (chgrp -R).

One more thing. I forgot that if you want to run tomcat under an id
other than your own, I believe you will have to use jsvc to boot
tomcat.
