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

try:

sudo chown -R tomcat:tomcat /home/jack/public_html/

probably you shouldn't need to change for the entire public_html, but you can try to see if it works, and then restrict permissions to your desired folder.
