Hi,

I am trying to start remote tomcat server, it's not working as expected.
I like to mansion that..I am able to stop tomcat server remotly.

Below command i am using
ssh -t remoteserver sudo sh /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat/bin/catalina.sh start

ssh -t remoteserver sudo sh /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat/bin/startup.sh

Both are not working..when i run this script locally it's working file

same way when i run tomcat stop command it's working fine.
ssh -t remoteserver sudo sh /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat/bin/catalina.sh stop

ssh -t remoteserver sudo sh /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

I check log file also..when i am executing tomcat start there is no log entry in log file

Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat-6.0.29
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat-6.0.29
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/local
Using CLASSPATH: /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/bin/bootstrap.jar


Thanks in advance.

You can create a script to set the needed env. variables before trying to start tomcat. E.g /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/remote.sh:
Then you can start tomcat from ssh:

Thanks for your reply,

I tried with setting tomcat6 is setting environment.

ssh -t remoteserver sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
I tried

Stop is working fine but Start start is not working.

ssh -t remoteserver sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start

Hi,
I tried to create remote script which is setting all env variable...

than also tomcat is not starting.....

ssh -t remoteserver sudo sh remote.sh
I am seeing log on console

Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.29
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.29
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/java/jre-1.6.0-sun
Using CLASSPATH: /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/bin/bootstrap.jar

Than also it's not starting...

How do you know it's not starting.
The startup.sh output looks ok.

That's correct,

But when hit from [ web url] http://servername:8080/[/url] I am not able to see tomcat web console.

Could be a firewall blocking port 8080
Log into the remoteserver and check if tomcat is running and listening on that port.

Tomcat is working fine on remote server port 8080

So if tomcat is running, but you cannot access it with your browser, you have to open port 8080/tcp on the firewall running at the remote server.

Sorry for confusation,

Tomcat Start/Stop working fine locally ,

but When I tried remote end IT's not working.

Open a shell on the remote server and run:
Then try to start tomcat remotely and watch the output of the above command to see what happens

I execute this command, But I am not seeing any log in server,
When I run that command..I am seeing below....

$ tail -f /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/logs/catalina.out

Here tomcat was running. How was it started?
This logs is for shutdown.
Leave the tail command running and try to start tomcat remotely ssh

I did but not getting any log when i hit from remote.

What it the ssh command you're running?
Try with:
where remote.sh is the script of post #2
