Hm, looks like tomcat home dir (catalina_home) doesn't contain "work" directory. Could you confirm it? Or do you use multiuser inst. of Tomcat (= base dir != home dir)? In that case - does base dir contain "work" dir? Did you use internal Tomcat? Thanks, answering these questions will help us to solve this problem.
This is probably a duplicate of 26570. Thomas, can you please tell us what software you used to unpack the build ? Also, can you please try in a more recent build ? Thanks.
I used WinZIP. Unfortunately, I lost the content of my hard disk yesterday, so I cannot verify anything about my user directory. Sorry.
OK, marking as duplicate *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 26570 ***
