When I type "ant install" the build fails: ------------------------------------------- install: [echo] Installing AddressBook ... [install] FAIL - Encountered exception java.io.IOException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/johnsmith/work/war/META-INF/context.xml (Permission denied) BUILD FAILED file:/home/johnsmith/work/build.xml:117: FAIL - Encountered exception java.io.IOException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/johnsmith/work/war/META-INF/context.xml (Permission denied) ------------------------------------------- My Tomcat is in /var/tomcat4. Some how, Ant can't access context.xml even though I can see that it is indeed there. What am I doing wrong? Thanks John

Check your permission on the file. Try chmod 777 context.xml and see if that will make it work. If that's the case - check if it works with a more restricted permission on the file.
