Error: User starting Tomcat is not www.
Please start Tomcat as www or change permissions on
/opt/hpws/tomcat/logs,
/opt/hpws/tomcat/webappss and
/opt/hpws/tomcat/work directories.
(for more information see tomcat.user.guide)

how can I fix this?

thanks

Do exactly what it says to do. Your tomcat is configured to start as user "www", so only this user should start it. Or, probably your tomcat directories are not "www".

If you don't want it to run as "www", configure it to use another user in tomcat's config files and change the permissions of the directories.

Alex.

Change the ownership of directories to www.

uid=30(www) gid=1(other)
www@biz:/]# cd opt/hpws/tomcat/bin
www@biz:/opt/hpws/tomcat/bin]# ./startup.sh

Again, check the perms on files/dirs. tomcat is not able to create a certain file.

Paste the output of:

ls -l /opt/hpws/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
