这是我的webapp上下文文件，/ etc / tomcat6 / Catalina / localhost / ri.xml
<Context docBase="/home/bart/Dropbox/projects/RevoraIndieSite/webapp" reloadable="true">
</Context>
但是，Tomcat抱怨：

但是该目录存在，并且每个人都可以读取。

这是Ubuntu 10.10存储库中的默认Tomcat 6安装，没有其他更改。
最佳答案
webapp目录也需要写权限。此外，将这个目录的所有者设置为与运行tomcat实例的目录相同的一个好习惯（如果我没记错的话，这是ubuntu上的tomcat6用户）
所以尝试chown -R tomcat6:tomcat6 webapps
或向其他人授予webapps forlder的写许可权chmod 766 webapps
