文档库/ home / ec2-user / myproject / web不存在或不是可读目录

Question

I am deploying my project to AWS with Apache Tomcat 7. I added the ROOT.xml into Catalina/localhost/ like this

<Context
 path="/"
 docBase="/home/ec2-user/myproject/web"
 workDir="/home/ec2-user/myproject/work"
 crossContext="true">
</Context>

Starting Tomcat gives me the famous exception of Tomcat, but sadly, I cannot resolve it

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /home/ec2-user/myproject/web does not exist or is not a readable directory

Things I tried:

• sudo chown -R tomcat:tomcat web && sudo chmod 775 -R web (Does not work)
• sudo ln -s web /etc/tomcat/web (Does not work)
• sudo cp -rf web /etc/tomcat/web (Work, actually, if I move the web folder anywhere outside of /home/ec2-user , it starts to work)

How can I make this work with the web folder under the ec2-user ?

Problem solved. Edit /etc/tomcat7/tomcat7.conf from

TOMCAT_USER="tomcat"

to

TOMCAT_USER="root"

Not the best way, but I can continue my work now
