perfsonar development work

[Stijn Melis <>]

Hi Frederic,

I am trying to reinstall everything from scratch.

I installed both perfsonar-tomcat and perfsonar-exist as root (using the
root user).

I then logged in as perfsonar user, and tried installing ssh-telnet mp,
but I get this error message:

[perfsonar@localhost
 ~]$ rpm -i geant2_java-sshtelnet-mp-1.3RC1-1.i386.rpm
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000

I then installed it as root, after which I logged in as perfsonar user,
and tried starting tomcat. This gives me the following error:

[perfsonar@localhost
 bin]$ ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/perfsonar/perfsonar-tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /home/perfsonar/perfsonar-tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/perfsonar/perfsonar-tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14
touch: cannot touch 
`/home/perfsonar/perfsonar-tomcat/logs/catalina.out': Permission denied
/home/perfsonar/perfsonar-tomcat/bin/catalina.sh: line 258: 
/home/perfsonar/perfsonar-tomcat/logs/catalina.out: Permission denied

If I start tomcat as root, everything seems to be working fine though, 
so I'll upload my first RC tomorrow morning.

Cheers,

Stijn
