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)

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

The issue seems to be the use starting tomcat doesn’t have permissions to create the stacktrace.log file. The location and/or existence of the stacktrace.log file can be controlled in the Config.groovy.

See the official documentation in the section on “Full stacktraces”.

You have to change the permissions on the folder where your root.war is deployed.

This seems relevant:
http://www.grails.org/Deployment/#Tomcat

“Be aware that on default settings, Grails will attempt to write to the tomcat directory certain files, typically the stacktrace.log and the h2 database. Your Tomcat directory is likely installed with owner/group of root, while the Tomcat server runs as user tomcat6. This will cause your application to fail to start with write permission errors. Either change your Grails production settings so that these files are written elsewhere to directories with correct permissions OR change the owner of the Tomcat directory (for Unix: /var/lib/tomcat6) to tomcat6 (or whatever tomcat user you set up using the TOMCAT6_USER setting).”

The configurations that work for me are the following:

log4j configuration

log4j = {

appenders {
    environments {
        development {
            console name: 'stdout', layout: pattern(conversionPattern: '%-5p %d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %c{2} %m%n')
        }

        production {
            appender new org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender(
                    name: 'file',
                    datePattern: "'.'yyyy-MM-dd",
                    file: System.properties['catalina.base'] + "/logs/mylog-web.log",
                    layout: pattern(conversionPattern: '%d [%t] %-5p %c{2} %x - %m%n')
            )
            rollingFile name: "stacktrace", maxFileSize: 1024 * 10,
                    file: System.properties['catalina.base'] + "/logs/mylog-web-stacktrace.log"
        }
    }
}

error 'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet', // controllers
        'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.pages', // GSP
        'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.sitemesh', // layouts

        'org.hibernate',
        'net.sf.ehcache.hibernate'

// our grails app internal things:
info 'grails.app'
debug 'grails.app.controllers'
debug 'grails.app.services'
debug 'grails.app.domain'
info 'grails.app.tagLib'
info 'mydomain.blabla'

environments {
    development {
        debug 'mydomain.blabla'
        error stdout: "StackTrace"
        //log4j.debug 'org.hibernate.type'
        //log4j.debug 'org.hibernate.SQL'
    }
    production {
        root {
            warn 'file'
        }
    }
}

}

Basically you have to set the stacktrace logs to the folder logs, where you have write permissions
