RE: Problem launching in live enviroment

I believe its  a file system/tomcat permission problem.  I used to get an those errors, and I think I solved it by just starting (and changing the owner of) tomcat with the same user that owns all the webapps.  Assuming your on Linux.

I'm not sure if that's a solution for you, but I think its more a Tomcat permission thing than a Turbine thing.

Hope that helps or points you in the right direction.
