Hi,

I have setup Apache Tomcat on my CentOS machine and it seems to work as a charm initially and a service tomcat start leaves me with output as such
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/apache-tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr
Using CLASSPATH: /usr/share/apache-tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/apache-tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

Further, I deployed the apache roller webapp and it works well and as soon as I deploy another instance of Apache roller the container crashes I wonder why ?
A restart now leaves me with this :
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/apache-tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr
Using CLASSPATH: /usr/share/apache-tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/apache-tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

I am unable to deploy more than one webapp

Here is my /etc/init.d/tomcat script

if [ $SHUTDOWN_PORT -eq 0 ]; then
echo "tomcat is not running..."
RETVAL=1
exit $RETVAL
else
echo "tomcat is running..."
RETVAL=0
exit $RETVAL
fi
}

case $1 in
start)

Please help. Need to get it working badly

Thanks in advance.

- Check if Port is allready in use
- Check your startup script has bind permissions on lower ports.

- If nothing works, try killall java and start tomcat again.

Hi

Look after the following parameter

1.Differ the serverport,connectorport,redirectport in server.xml .
2.Clean the works folder and try to start the application

Check thadt the Param Autobind is set to yes. It depends on your Linux Version.
On Debian it is the file /etc/default/tomcat and restart tomcat.
