I forgot to include the software versions:
I don't know where to look for the roller version number but I only
downloaded it a few months ago so I presume it is 4.0
My production tomcat was apache-tomcat-6.0.13, I have installed a clean
apache-tomcat-6.0.18 and the problem is the same.
I am using mysql 3.23.58
I am using jdk1.5.0_10 also tried with 1.6.0
Running Linux 2.4
Firefox 3.0.1
It worked fine with the above setup for the last few months, I haven't
changed tomcat or roller or mysql or jdk or Linux recently.

I installed roller a few months ago and it has been working without
problem for months. Two days ago my tomcat server was hung up. I was
able to isolate the problem to roller, if I remove the roller webapp
the server and all the other webapps work just fine. I installed a
clean install of tomcat 6.0.18 and it starts up fine. I move my
roller directory into the webapps directory, add the jar files and
custom property files to tomcat/lib and start the server and it hangs,
the other apps don't work and even tomcat shutdown doesn't work.
I have included the contents of the various logs below.
Any ideas on what could be causing the problem?
If I want to try doing a clean install of roller, what do I have to do
to preserve the contents of my blog?
Outside of the properties file is there anything else I need to
preserve when starting with a new install of roller?
Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated!
