Hello, This afternoon one of my Tomcat instances (using Tomcat private instances) that has been running for many months suddenly stopped responding. I made no configuration changes, so I'm at a loss as to what the cause is. (This literally happened between page loads.) My googling turned up a few threads that were all related to Eclipse, but I am not running Eclipse, let alone running Tomcat from within Eclipse.
Thanks in advance for your assistance! OS: XUbuntu 12.04, 64-bit Tomcat: 7.0.26.0 (private instance installation: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/tomcat.html) JVM: Sun 1.6.0_32-b05 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start SEVERE: Catalina.start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardServer[8043]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:645) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:322) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:450) Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardService[Catalina]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.startInternal(StandardServer.java:732) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) ... 7 more Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.startInternal(StandardService.java:443) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) ... 9 more Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: A child container failed during start at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.startInternal(ContainerBase.java:1136) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.startInternal(StandardEngine.java:302) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) ... 11 more $ sudo netstat -lnp | grep :8043 Running the above shows nothing else running on the port. I also blew away my tomcat folder (i.e. the private instance) and created a brand new one. (i.e. $ tomcat7-instance-create tomcat) However, the issue persists. I am at a loss as to what might be the problem. Please let me know if there is any additional information needed. Thanks again!
