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 On May 27, 2009, at 12:36 AM, [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team wrote:
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 ([email protected]) 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.
