Hello and thanks for taking your time to read my post.
I am trying to set up a project management tool which is open source. (
http://kunagi.org/)
The web server is using
Tomcat 6 and
Java 6.
After I got my web hosting up and running I went to the tomcat manager and tried to select the kunagi.war file and pressed deploy. After it deploys and it successfully runs in my list of applications I try to open the webpage to it. The error message I get is as follows:
First question: Is it normal for web hosting companies to not allow access at this particular location?
After looking around a lot on the internet I still don't really understand why the error occurs. My web hosting company told me to install the web application to the web application folder of the tomcat and not the binary location. The problem is that after I looked into the code of the kunagi, the way it detects the path to store data in is by creating a dummy file, and then fetching the filepath of it. Does this mean that the kunagi web application is installed to the binary folder of the tomcat installation, or is it simply because the tomcat is executing it?
I am still not sure how I should attack this problem, I could try to fix the paths in the code and then recompile the entire project, but I am guessing it will be a lot of time used just to find all the dependencies and so on. (And I would also need to know the location of where I should store it)
Another alternative, if I have interpreted the problem correctly, is to deploy the web application to a user location and the program will detect a data directory in a location where it is allowed.
Any help or tips is highly appreciated. If I have forgotten any important information, please let me know.
Best regards,
Jorgen
