Description Leif Gruenwoldt 2011-05-28 21:08:02 UTC

Description of problem:

Tomcat6 fails to start.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

tomcat6-6.0.30-6.fc15.noarch

How reproducible:

Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot
2. $ service tomcat6 status
  
Actual results:

$ sudo service tomcat6 status
PID file exists, but process is not running                [WARNING]
tomcat6 lockfile exists but process is not running         [FAILED]


Expected results:

Tomcat6 service to start successfully.


Additional info:

This laptop was pre-upgraded from F14.

I tried cleaning up the lockfile and the pid and restarting the service but with no success.

I also tried removing tomcat6 and reinstalling.

Comment 5 Mike McCune 2011-06-09 00:04:15 UTC

temporary workaround I used:

chmod g+x /var/log/tomcat6
chmod g+x /etc/tomcat6/
chown tomcat:tomcat -R /var/lib/tomcat6
chown tomcat:tomcat -R /var/lib/tomcat6
chown tomcat:tomcat -R /var/cache/tomcat6

Bug 677414 seems to describe the same problem.  It provides a link to a new Tomcat version that requires more karma to be declared stable.
