I'm trying to get the birt-viewer (2.2.0) installed on a Ubuntu Gutsy
(latest packages) system with Tomcat 5.5. Tomcat works fine and so do the
webapp example applications. However after copying the WebViewerExample as
birt-viewer and trying to start it through the Tomcat manager I get:

I set the rights to chmod -R tomcat55.nogroup birt-viewer and also tried
the birt.war deployment without luck. I guess there is something with
catalina needs to be added but I don't know what. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Dre

Dre,

This does appear to be an issue with how the engine writes to the
documents directory. If you look in the Web.xml you can change the
directory to some other location or you can use the
__document=filepath/reprortdocument.rptdocument.

Did you do a chown or chmod? If you used a chmod did you do +WR.

I was in a similar situation and discovered that the problem was caused
by some sort of conflict with Security Manager. In my case it was a
Debian distro, so I edited

/etc/default/tomcat5.5
....
TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no

With the security manager off, BIRT started successfully after a reboot.

I saw a bug floating around regarding the BIRT viewer and JAAS that may
be related.
