Greetings, I'm hoping someone here can give me a pointer or two in troubleshooting an unexpected Tomcat shutdown. I have been searching the mailing list archives and googling (web and groups) for hints on this, but so far with no success.
Sometime between March 6 and April 11, I see the following lines in my catalina.out file: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: cannot install alternate signal stack Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: cannot uninstall alt signal stack All told, there are over 6400 lines, with the above two lines alternating. After these 6400 lines, I see the following: **************** Another exception has been detected while we were handling last error. Dumping information about last error: ERROR REPORT FILE = (N/A) PC = 0xf62bbd2c SIGNAL = 11 FUNCTION NAME = (N/A) OFFSET = 0xFFFFFFFF LIBRARY NAME = (N/A) Please check ERROR REPORT FILE for further information, if there is any. Good bye. Tomcat was restarted, and I have not seen these messages since. I've googled for the error messages, but haven't found anything that would point to the cause. This does not seem to be an easily repeatable occurrence. It has happened twice in the last year on a production machine. I've tried to reproduce this on a test machine running the same versions of Tomcat and Java with a machine under as close a load as the production box as possible, but with no success. Here are some details of the environment. Tomcat Version: 4.1.31 Java Version: 1.4.2_07 OS: RedHat Enterprise Linux 3, update 2, SMB kernel, i386 We have set up a monitor and auto-restart job on the production box in order to minimize downtime, but since this is a fairly critical server, I would like to prevent this from occuring again if at all possible. If anyone has a hint or two to help me understand what happened, that would be most appreciated. One specific questions, if I may. Where would "ERROR REPORT FILE" be found, and if it's not, does anyone know how I can force one to be created? I don't see any likely files on the system, but it's possible (likely, even) that I just don't know the name or location. Thank you for your time, Dean Maki --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
