Hey all, I’m having some trouble setting up my grails application. Running the app from netbeans there is no problem (on windows 7 64bit) also deploying the war file on the same computer using apache2 and tomcat 7 works fine. After trying to deploy in Plesk all failed misserably, tomcat wouldn’t start at all. So I tried to set it up on my own linux environment (ubuntu 10 using apache2 and tomcat6) Here the server works fine, except for the war file wont run and I get a nice exception in catalina.out:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: stacktrace.log (Permission denied)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.openAppend(Native Method)
followed by stacktrace and another error:
INFO: Deploying web application archive SuurdGasControl.war
log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: stacktrace.log (Permission denied)

any help on how to solve this would be great!
Grails tries to write to the file stacktrace.log, in the directory where you started tomcat. The “Permission denied” error probably means tomcat lacks write access to that folder. Maybe you started tomcat from a folder the tomcat process don’t have access to? Try start tomcat from e.g. its log directory (run ../bin/startup.sh) and see if that works.
Edit: The above is error #2. The base cause looks to be problem initializing a spring bean with your datasource. The user ‘grails’@’localhost’ does not have access to your MySQL database at localhost
