To reduce security vulnerabilities will you please tell me what exact
directories need to be www:www ?

Also, I recommend you build a chown into the jakarta port so other users do
not have to deal with these permissions issues.

Alternatively, you could change the ownership of the relevant tomcat
directories to www:www.
