The Panopticon Visualization Server also requires:

|
NOTE |
Unzip the contents of the dependency package file provided by Panopticon into the TOMCAT_HOME/lib folder to be able to run Altair Panopticon software on JRE 8+ and Open JDK 8+.
|
q Apache Tomcat 9.0.x
|
NOTE |
Starting with Tomcat 9, Debian Linux implements a security policy which puts a harder default restriction on which folders a Tomcat 9 web application can write to. The change is described in full detail here: https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/tomcat9/-/commit/3ca5cbdc2f970470341926354f210dff032fc5f3 Quoting from the release notes: · Tomcat is sandboxed by systemd and only has write access to the following directories:
· If write access to other directories is required, override the service settings. This is done by creating an override.conf file in /etc/systemd/system/tomcat9.service.d/ containing: [Service] ReadWritePaths=/path/to/the/directory/ Ensure to restart the service afterward with: o systemctl daemon-reload o systemctl restart tomcat9
|
