Good suggestion, (and I might be missing something obvious), but I am using an absolute path.
This is the way I have set up GeoServer before so I can easily upgrade. Maybe something has changed between Ubuntu 18 & 19
I am about to do a clean install of Ubuntu 18 so will ley the list know.

Hi all,
Russ, I would like to help but I may be wrong : have you already tried an absolute path instead ?
I say that because I’ve recently change my web.xml to direct Geoserver to save cached tiles in a geoserver (+tomcat) subdirectory and I used an absolute path, and it works without changing anything else.
And if you want to use a relative path, maybe you should use « ./data/ » instead of « /data/ »
Hope it helps,

can you paste the result of "ls -ld /data" in here, I suspect that is isn't what you think it is

I have just done a clean installation of Ubuntu 19.04, installed Tomcat 9, installed OpenJDK 11 and installed GS 2.15
I have a folder called /data to which I point GeoServer by editing web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR</param-name>
<param-value>/data/</param-value>
</context-param>
Now when I start GeoServer I get an error in /var/log/syslog saying /data is not writeable !
Apr 25 15:14:05 hostname tomcat9[13480]: 25 Apr 15:14:05 ERROR [storage.DefaultStorageFinder] - Found Servlet context parameter GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR set to /data/ , which is not writeable
Tomcat is running as user ‘tomcat’. The /data folder is owned by tomcat with permissions 777 (I know that is not the best but I am trying to get things working)
I have tried setting the data folder in her setclasspath.sh
CATALINA_OPTS="-DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/data"
But I get the same error.
Has anybody else seen this?
