Tomcat not starting up!

i had tomcat installed and running until i installed the sun java studio creator.
when i did that, tomcat would not start! i tried removing it and reinstalling it on port 8085 (i thought it would conflict with the studio creator's port number) but it's still not starting.
help

the only log that is on the /logs folder is this

Workshop 3.3 build 608 + tomcat not starting

I installed a fresh version of Workshop 3.3 build 608 in the anticipation that this would finally rid the issue I faced in an earlier post (search Tomcat 5.5.20 + BEA Workshop 3.2.1 build 589 issues)
Only this time when I try to start the tomcat server, I get the generic "Server tomcat...failed to start".
Here is the entry from the log file in my workspace. I'm hoping someone can show me the light at the end of the tunnel here.

Tomcat not starting from Eclipse

Hi,
I am trying to start Tomcat from within Eclipse with no luck.
When I click on the start tomcat button, the cursor changes for a few seconds but nothing happens. Nothing is written in the Eclipse console or the Tomcat log files. When I start tomcat normally , it starts up fine.
I am using:
Eclipse 3.0.1
Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat plugin 3.0.0
JDK 1.4.2
Tomcat 5.0
Any Ideas?
Regards

Hi guyz,
I am a new user of Eclipse.
I have Eclipse 3.0.2.
I downloaded Sysdeo 3.1.0 beta and extracted it in the plugins directory. I tried to activate it by clicking on Window -> Customize perspective.
But I cannot activate it. Am I using wrong version of Sysdeo...?
Also, can anybody tell me whether the folder org.eclipse.tomcat_4.1.30 is a Tomcat plugin ...?
Please help...........
Thanks,
Rahul

Jenkins not deploying on Tomcat; SSH Service not starting

So I've had a couple of problems happening. My first problem is that even though sshd.service and sshd.socket are enabled with systemctl, it does not automatically start. There are no errors reported in journalctl, it just does not start. When issuing systemctl status sshd.service and systemctl status sshd.socket, there is nothing to report. Once I manually start them, there are no errors reported, and everything works as expected.

The second problem is my tomcat service. It won't start the Jenkins. I've linked the jenkins.war file to the webapps folder. When I start tomcat using systemctl start tomcat8, this is the output of journalctl -xn

EDIT:
The SSHD problem is fixed. I read more closely at the sshd.socket config, and it clearly states it conflicts with sshd.service. I disabled service and everything works fine. But I am still having trouble getting Jenkins to work with Tomcat.

Thank you, but the problem is a little different from that. These are
exploded web apps outside the applications dir. I deployed them
through the console initially; on the other servers, when WL restarts,
the apps are deployed back to their targets just fine. It's only this
box that loses sense of the targets on WL restart.
We're on 6.1, so a few people have suggested upgrading to 6.1 sp4 --
they've said they've seen this problem, and the sp corrects it.
That said, this is a production box and upgrading it is a hassle. I'll
get started on scheduling that, but if anyone has any ideas in the
meantime, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, thanks anyway. :)

This is bad, obviously, because the server won't restore properly
after a restart.
After a while, I get target="box,box,box,box" that represents the
multiple times I've deployed that application to the target "box".
From config.xml:
<Application Deployed="true" Name="revx" Path="F:\revx">
<WebAppComponent Name="revx"
Targets="giocm,giocm,giocm,giocm,giocm,giocm,giocm"
URI="revx"/>
</Application>
The operating system is Windows 2000 5.00.2195 ... everything was
working fine until I re-installed the Windows service this weekend.
I've checked permissions on the folder, on the file, and who the
service is running as. I've manually edited config.xml to remove the
duplicate target entries.
I've seen some other posts from people who have also experienced
applications not deploying on WL restart, but I don't see any
resolutions.

Workshop 3.3 + Liferay 4.1.3 (Tomcat bundle) portal not starting

I downloaded the Liferay Portal Professional 4.1.3 (Bundled with Tomcat for JDK 5.0) available at http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/downloads. I installed it on a an Eclipse 3.2.1 SDK and was able to successfully start deploy a portlet to it.
I then added the server runtime in BEA Workshop and added a new server to use this runtime and added my portlet project to it. When I try to start the server I get the dreaded "An internal error occurred during: ..." error dialog. Here is the contents of the log file:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2006-12-05 22:04:40.468

The server does not start. My initial guess is this has to do with some weird combination of the Liferay Tomcat bundle and BEA Workshop Studio. I am wondering if anyone else can try this and let me know if they have successfully got this to work.
Thanks in advance for any help.

CiscoWorks Tomcat Servlet Engine service does not start

Hello!
CiscoWorks Tomcat Servlet Engine service does not start.
Events in the Windows Event Viewer:
The CiscoWorks Tomcat Servlet Engine service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).
output pdshow and file stderr.log, hs_err_pid2128.log attached.
Do you have an idea how to resolve this?
Thanks!

The only things which I see are wrong are the start types for the IPM NG database engine and HUM database engine services. They must be set to Manual, not Automatic. However, that would not account for the Tomcat crash. The crash points to an error in the code which processes regdaemon.xml, but I see no reason why that should be failing. As I said before, I think it would be best to open a Service Request. Remote access would be helpful to dig into this problem in more detail.

Tomcat service will not start with JRockit 8.0

We are trying to use JRockit with Tomcat 4.0.1. It runs great as a console app
but when we try to run it as a service it will not start. Has anyone had any luck
with this.

Hi Bob!
You can use the jk_nt_service descibed and downloadble at
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lampante/howto/tomcat/iisnt/
To make this work on JRockit you have to follow these instrcutions.
But also do this:
Make sure that you environment variables are set up correctly. Make sure
that
you have set your JAVA_HOME environment variable correctly, and that that
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin" is available in your PATH environment variable before any
other directory where any version of java.exe may exist. When running
applications as Windows services it is crucial that you set these
environment
variables system wide. To do this open
Start->Settings->Control Panel->System
and select the Advanced tab. Click on the "Environment Variables." button.
To
set system wide environment variables you must edit in the lower part of
this
dialog, i.e. the part called System variables.
When using jk_nt_service the Tomcat startup is defined in
%CATALINA_HOME%\conf\jk\wrapper.properties
Make sure that you set the three properties wrapper.tomcat_home,
wrapper.java_home and wrapper.cmd_line are set accordingly.
wrapper.tomcat_home must be set with the installation directory of tomcat
wrapper.java_home must be set to the same value as the JAVA_HOME environment
variable.
The property wrapper.cmd_line defines the startup command.
At the time of writing, this property should be set to
wrapper.cmd_line=$(wrapper.javabin) -Xnohup
-Djava.security.policy=="$(wrapper.tomcat_policy)"
-Dtomcat.home="$(wrapper.tomcat_home)" -classpath $(wrapper.class_path)
$(wrapper.startup_class) -config $(wrapper.server_xml) start
for JRockit. Normally this command includes a non-standard option to stop
the
JVM from shutting down the process when a user logs off. For JRockit this
non-standard option is -Xnohup, for the Sun JVM it is -Xrs.

Thanks for your reply Sten.
We slightly modified tomcat.exe to install our app as a service.
Really the only changes we made were to the name of the service and weadded a
few application parameters with -D. We still use the same startup andshutdown
hooks to the Bootstrap jar. This is where we think there may be a
problem.

Hi Bob!
Are we talking Tomcat controlled by a Windows Service? If so, how are
you
trying to make this happen?
Can you please point me to the documentation of this and the win32
wrapper
service that you are using?
I would like to be able to re-produce your problem.

Ciscoworks Tomcat service will not start

Hi All,
The Ciscoworks Tomcat Servlet Engine service on our server is not starting even if the start-up type is set to Automatic or Manual. With this, I cannot login to the Ciscoworks homepage since the "page cannot be displayed" screen appears when I click on the Ciscoworks icon. When I force the Tomcat service to Start, I get a pop-up error stating:
"Could not start the Ciscoworks Tomcat Servlet Engine service on Local Computer. Error 1067:The process terminated unexpectedly."
Any idea how to resolve this? Appreciate your response. Thanks!

First, the service must always be set to Manual start. If you have changed it to Automatic, change it back, and reboot. Then post the NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/logs/stdout.log and stderr.log along with any relevant events in the Windows Event Viewer.

Tomcat Solaris 9 distribution will not start

I downloaded SOLARIS 9 and installed it on my SUN BLADE 100. I looked for and found TOMCAT, a version came with the SOLARIS 9 operating environment. I tried to start TOMCAT, startup.sh, I could not get TOMCAT to start. Here is the output from catalina.out.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap
Any help is certainly appreciated.

You have to add the tomcat/lib/Bootstrap.jar to your classpath.

After BI install SIA and Tomcat could not start with service account.

Hi BO Gurus,
I want to install BO child node (Expand the parent install)
Client IT prepared a system with MS Server 2012 with Windows 8 as OS, and assigned a Service Account for me.
I gave service account following permissions -
Act as a part of operating system
log on as a batch
log on as a service
After this I rebooted the system and logged in with Service Account credentials. Started the installer, performed custom/expand install.
the install was successful.
When I opened CCM, both Tomcat and SIA are running under 'localsystem' account.
I want them to run under service account --> i sopped SIA and changed credentials in 'Log on as' box under SIA properties.--> Click on 'apply' and 'OK'
When I go on and start SIA I get following error -
' The Service did not start due to log on failure'.
The same service account runs services on 3 other BO boxes including parent node of the above install and 2 other DS boxes and everything apart from this machine works exactly fine.
Please help!
Thanks,
Maitreyee

Maitreyee,
BI 4.x Platform will NOT work on Desktop OS like Windows 7 / 8.x / 8.1, it required 64bit Server Operating system. See attached screenshot.

Could not start Tomcat 6 on XP

Hi,
I have installed Apache Tomcat 6 in my Windows XP.
When I try to start it from Control Panel-->Administrative tools-->Services I'm getting the following error.
"Windows Could not start Apache Tomcat on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log.
If this is a non-Microsoft service vendor, and refer to service specific error code 0. "
Could anyone help me in this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Working with Tomcat often, I seem to come across the same issue again and again so I created a file to remind me ''all the moving parts'' in tomcat.
I am using Sun role manager as an example. Hope this helps.
--Change the imagepath in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SYSTEM --> CurrentControlSet --> Services --> Tomcat5 --> ImagePath
Change the Value data
-- Typically it will be C:\Program Files\Sun Role Manager\SRM-4.1\tomcat55\bin\tomcat5.exe //RS//Tomcat5
Click ok
--Change the log file
C:\Program Files\Sun Role Manager\SRM-4.1\tomcat55\bin\tomcat5w.exe
logging tab
Log path: C:\Program Files\Sun Role Manager\SRM-4.1\tomcat55\logs
--Change the path to the new jvm.dll file
C:\Program Files\Sun Role Manager\SRM-4.1\tomcat55\bin\tomcat5w.exe
Java Tab -->
Java Virtual Machine: C:\Program Files\Sun Role Manager\SRM-4.1\jre1.5\bin\client\jvm.dll
Make sure the Java Classpath is correct
Start Apache
