Hi everybody,

I just tried to deploy Alfresco on my Gentoo-Linux-Server using jdk 1.5 and tomcat 5.0. I setup the database, copied the mysql-driver into the tomcat-lib-folder and tried to deploay the war-file.

It's not working… what am I doing wrong?

This is the error-log:

Can you check that your user has write permissions on the tomcat/bin directory? As the error suggests the system is failing the create the Alfresco content directory which lives in the tomcat/bin folder.

Thanks,

Kevin
