Re: Error deploying roller.war tomcat7

Hello,

I have started the tomcat server with root user, and I think root have 
full permission to read/write anywhere in the system.
Also, Can you provide me the SVN link of the documentation, As the one I 
downloaded is lastest from SVN last updated in august for version 5.1.0 
(http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/trunk/docs/roller-install-guide.odt?revision=1515262&view=co)

Thanks
Gaurav
