Hi,

I just stepped again into this very same issue ( I re-installed everything just this morning)

when I tried to install I had:



Then I followed Prodromos's suggestion and I chnaged the ownership ot the client.properties file


[root@grid-4 WEB-INF]# id tomcat
uid=91(tomcat) gid=91(tomcat) groups=91(tomcat) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

And things worked







we should really make sure this is fixed !   it's a deployment issue.

Hi all,

A long time ago we decided that WA should automatically check and modify eXist's default port. In particular it requires *read/write permissions* to the  following file:

$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/exist/WEB-INF/client.properties

Mario and Fausto recently discovered a WA bug in XML-LS and RRDMA services. This is not a WA bug but a deployment issue. In particular, the deployment should ensure that WA was read/write permission to the client.properties file.
I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Prodromos.
