I recently emerged the above package and wonder why it won't start. After seeing here and looking there I found out that the directory /etc/tomcat-5/default/ and the file in there aren't owned by tomcat:tomcat. For this reason, tomcat couldn't read the server.xml and won't start. After chown these files to tomcat:tomcat the server starts Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.11-gentoo-r7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r7 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.11 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.5-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r8 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -Os -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -Os -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://gentoo.inode.at/source/ http://gentoo.inode.at/" LANG="de_DE@euro" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/local /usr/local/overlays/gentoo-de" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm audiofile avantgo avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl dga dvd emboss encode esd fam font-server foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit kde libg++ libwww lirc mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png postgres python qt quicktime readline samba sdl spell sqlite ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts v4l v4l2 vorbis wxwindows xine xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib linguas_de linguas_en userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS
