Failed to create directory error

Question

I created a new subdomain and uploaded the WAR file to its directory, but the server returns the following error.

java.io.IOException: Unable to create the directory[/home/jack/public_html/WAR/MYWAR] ..... 

The permission of the WAR folder and the WAR file is 0755.

Answer 1

0755 - rwxr-xr-x. If you do not own the directory (usually this is a user of anyone), you cannot write to the directory. You must be the owner of the directory or root to write to this location.

Answer 2

to try:

 sudo chown -R tomcat:tomcat /home/jack/public_html/ 

You probably don't need to change public_html for everything, but you can try to see if it works, and then restrict the rights to the desired folder.

Answer 3

We need to make sure that Tomcat has full folder access permission. First determine which Tomcat user or group is running. Ensure that the user and / or group owns it. For example, the following code will change the ownership of the test directories folder and everything under it:

 sudo chown -R owner:group /home/blabla/test 

This will give the owner and group ownership of the execution of teams. http://www.computerhope.com/unix/uchown.htm

Next, we use chmod to provide permissions that define permissions for the owner of the file ("user"), members of the group that owns the file ("group")

Answer 4

looks like you need

give the group full access to the entry in the WAR directory

 sudo chmod 775 /home/jack/public_html/WAR/ 

then change the directory group to tomcat

 chown -R jack:tomcat /home/jack/public_html/WAR/ 

Answer 5

If permission, user and group are correct. Maybe the answer is selinux.
