[cobalt-developers] Tomcat permissions

["Mike Atlee" <matlee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

#A client of mine is trying to upload files to a website that is using
#tomcat/java on an RAQ4.  He is getting a permission error when writing to
#the /var/tmp directory.  I added the following line to
#tomcat.policy.www.website.com:

#permission java.io.FilePermission "/var/temp/-", "read,write,delete";

#It still is giving us the following error.

#Error: 500
#Location: /itemAdd.do
#Internal Servlet Error:
