[opencms-dev] opencms and tomcat as non root user

[Terrance Davis]

Does your OpenCms installation have the same owner and group as your  
Tomcat that is running it?

I realize Solaris is a bit different than Linux, but when you start  
Tomcat from root on Gentoo Linux, Tomcat actually runs as a different  
user than root. If OpenCMS was installed as root, usually Tomcat won't  
have permissions to use the OpenCMS directories and files. In this  
case on Gentoo, you would need to use 'chown' and 'chgrp' to set all  
the OpenCMS files and folders to the appropriate users and groups.
