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

seems like you need to

give group full access write to the WAR directory

sudo chmod 775 /home/jack/public_html/WAR/

then change the group of the directory to tomcat

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