Tomcat 9 Does not start

Post by martin.schaible » 2019/03/04 23:19:32

Hello

I can not start Tomcat by hitting ./startup.sh. I get this in return:

Code: Select all

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /opt/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/lib/jvm/jre
Using CLASSPATH:       /opt/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Using CATALINA_PID:    /opt/tomcat/temp/tomcat.pid
Tomcat started.
Tomcat was not started and an zero-byte length catalina.out was generated. That's all i got, no additional errors or entries in system logs files.

The script startup.sh does call catalina.sh with the option start, which starts tomcat in a separate window. If i try to start Tomcat with ./catalina.sh run, it works. Tomcat starts in the same window.

And now the real weard thing: If i run ./startup.sh and Midnight Commander is running, it works!

I'm logged in as root.

I spent a lot of time to search for a solution but i never have read something similar. Any idea, what is going on here?

I appreciate any help, thank you.

Cheers

Martin

The CentOS supported tomcat is in the repos and may be installed "yum install tomcat". Perhaps that might help you?

Unfortunately not. Only Tomcat 7 is available via yum.
