Unable to create the directory error

Question

I created a new subdomain and uploaded the WAR file into its directory, but the server returns following error.

java.io.IOException: Unable to create the dir         


        

Answer 1

0755 is rwxr-xr-x. If you are not the owner of the directory(it is usally user nobody), you cannot write in the directory. You need to be owner of the directory or root to write in that location.
