alfresco.war does not deploy on tomcat5.5 under debian because of a permission problem. My workaround is to change log4j.properties in the webapps directory. But this is not the right place. It should be configured in the shared server settings like the other custom configurations. But how can I do it?
You most likely need to make changes to one of the java security policies in /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d
Java security is complex, and I have simply choosen to turn it off for testing. I hope to find some documentation on what security settings alfresco needs to function for the production server.
If you would like to turn off security you can do so in /etc/default/tomcat5.5 or so.
