Date: 2012aug20 OS: Linux Distro: Fedora17 Warning: This is not the latest Fedora Q. How can I make Apache Tomcat work on Fedora 17? A. I used the solution from http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=264340 Which is this:

dnf install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin-webapps tomcat6-webapps chmod g+x /usr/share/tomcat6/logs chmod g+x /etc/tomcat6 chmod g+x /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/ chmod g+x /usr/share/tomcat6/temp chmod g+x /usr/share/tomcat6/work chmod g+x /var/cache/tomcat6 chown -R tomcat:tomcat /etc/tomcat6/Catalina chmod g+x /var/lib/tomcat6/

Thanks guys. You should also. Uninstall Tomcat7 if you have it:

dnf remove tomcat

And restart Tomcat6 after doing all of this:

systemctl restart tomcat6.service
