Description David Neumann 2005-06-23 18:08:15 UTC 
TomCat fails to start under Suse. I have the apache2 web server and Java 1.5.0 
installed as well and there was no dependency issues when building the box.

In the /usr/share/java/logs directory the Start.log and the Catalina.out read 
as follows:

Start.log:

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat5
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/temp
Using JAVA_HOME:       /usr/lib/jvm/java
/usr/share/tomcat5/bin/catalina.sh: line 284: /var/run/tomcat5.pid: Permission 
denied


Catalina.out:

Note sure where the problem is, although I am new to all of this so any 
assistance that you could provide would be absolutely appreciated.

Please use the tomcat-user list to debug this. (or search the archives)
