RE: Tomcat Question - HELP
I really don't care what your personal views are. I am not a decision maker here. We use apache/tomcat for non-mission critical app. Actually we don't have a choice because the vendor who wrote the code bundled everything with all those open source stuff. Why don't we make this forum simple. If you are willing help, just focus on helping to address specific technical issues and not express your personal opinions about things that are not relevant like attacking somebody's technical know-how, etc.(not you but one of those who reply to my posting). Like KISS...keep it simple and straight to the point. I didn't post the log because I am 99.99 sure that will only see a clean startup message and nothing else. We actually replicated the issue and killing a tomcat PID, sometimes does not release the port it is listening to/or using. I killed the tomcat PID, clear port 8080 and make sure nothing else is using it or holding it and restarted tomcat with my rc2.d script that calls catalina.sh and it solved my issue. I got that idea from one of the good replies I got for this particular issue. My 2 cents.

I just started a web hosting business on the Linux platform using Tomcat. I had no prior experience using the software and I have read as much as I can in books, but they are always out of date, even when new. Press time is always too long. Open source just keeps getting better so much faster. So an open community forum with the WRITERS of the software is a MODERN MIRACLE. This forum, and Yoav, have been invaluble resources to me. No propiretary software provider would EVER be willing to provide such support. They aren't smart enough and they don't care enough.
