  • Are you sure running tomcat startup? you can check in Service properties UI? why does it call stopServer?

  • Also check the server.xml for the startup/shutdown ports

  • Already checked startup/shutdown ports in server.xml, they are not used by any other applications.

It looks like you are trying to stop or restart the server when it is not running. Instead you need to start it.

  • This error is displayed while starting of tomcat itself. Though error looks like we are stopping it before starting...

  • Yes, you need to ask yourselves why you are doing that. Probably the answer is to clean up any old versions of Tomcat that are still running.

  • There are no other tomcat versions installed nor any tomcat service running already...

Check if there is not running another (defunct) tomcat by doing "ps xa | grep catalina".

  • Here you go: exec "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" start "$@"

  • sorry. did late edit of my last comment. Could you try "catalina.sh start" ? and how did you check that the ports are currently "not used" ? netstat?

  • Same result: bash#./startup.sh start Using CATALINA_BASE: /app/iw-home/servletd Using CATALINA_HOME: /app/iw-home/servletd Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /app/iw-home/servletd/temp Using JRE_HOME: /app/iw-home/tools/java bash#
