What distro are you using?
Can you run other commands via ssh on the remote server? Like:

Code:

ssh -t remoteserver sudo ifconfig

Does the script works when run directly on the server? Make it executable and try to run it, to see what happens:

Code:

sudo chmod +x /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat/bin/remote.sh
sudo /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat/bin/remote.sh

If it runs locally, it should also run remotely.

Hi..i tried

ssh -t remote server sudo if config is not working.

ssh -t remote server sudo ls -l it's working fine.

I think there is firewall or some other issue...i don't know..

But thanks a lot for helping me.... Let me know..is there any other i debug the problem

It's not a firewall problem.

ifconfig is one word not two (if config)

You didn't answer about your distro. If it's a Debian/Ubuntu could be Apparmor, if it's RHEL/Centos/Fedora could be SELinux
Looking at the logs in /var/log could give you a hist of what's happening.
Also you didn't answer if the script works locally, but I guess it does.

did you make a service named tomcat using the link i shared with you. I m pretty sure if you follow the step you will end up with Tomcat working remotely.

Hi Bathory,

Local script is working fine. when I run ifconfig It's not working. I have linux box and I am not able to see log in server log file..like catalina.log

-Pingal123.... Can you please share link..I am not seeing any link here....

What you mean that ifconfig is not working? You get an error from sudo, or what? Please try to be more specific, so we can help you.
Also you didn't mention the Linux distribution you're using.
Re: pinga's link, it's 4-5 posts before.

Anyway you can try to run tomcat using your username, so you won't need sudo. Log-in the server, become root and run:

Code:

chown -R bhaumik /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat

Then logout and run from your host the ssh command without the sudo

Code:

ssh remoteserver /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat/bin/remote.sh

and see if it works.

Hi

I tried to start tomcat remotely, It's not coming up. Locally it's seems working fine.

I tried command ssh remoteserver sh catalina.sh start and startup.sh

but It's not working.

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 CATALINA_OUT: /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat-6.0.29
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/java/jre-1.6.0-sun
Using CLASSPATH: /opt/tomcat/6.0.29/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/bin/bootstrap.jar

I am preassume when it's writing to catalina.log file it's creating some problem

"$_RUNJAVA" "$LOGGING_CONFIG" $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS \
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="$JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS" -classpath "$CLASSPATH" \
-Djava.security.manager \
-Djava.security.policy=="$CATALINA_BASE"/conf/catalina.policy \
-Dcatalina.base="$CATALINA_BASE" \
-Dcatalina.home="$CATALINA_HOME" \
-Djava.io.tmpdir="$CATALINA_TMPDIR" \
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start \
>> "$CATALINA_OUT" 2>&1 &

I also want to mansion that..catalina run command is working fine

joec@home · 09-07-2010, 06:37 PM

You may have to install sshpass as it is not all too common to be installed by default.

Code:

PASSWORD="put root password here"

SERVER="put server address here"

echo "put what ever command you want to run remotely here" | sshpass -p`echo $PASSWORD` ssh root@$SERVER bash

bhaumik · 09-19-2010, 01:50 PM

I applied no hub command in catalina.sh ..start...now it's working fine

that's thread issue..when thread try to write in file...at there is some issue...

Thanks a lot for your help

Regards,
Bhaumik
