From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9 Description of problem: When running Tomcat, at non-deterministic points, as far as I can tell, the server simply hangs, does not accept incoming requests, either on port 8080 or via mod_jk2. shutdown.sh does nothing. Unable to kill process with kill PID, using kill -9 sometimes causes process to go into defunct status. Restarting Tomcat fails with message that ports 8080, 8005 are in use. Only recourse is to reboot the box. In addition, various strange and similar things happen when running other Java processes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tomcat-4.1.27-13 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Tomcat 2. Wait a bit 3. Crash Actual Results: Tomcat frequently crashes and locks up the machine Expected Results: Tomcat should not crash and not lock up the machine. Additional info: I'm using the JVM supplied with Fedora, but running a Tomcat install from jakarata (not gcj, I believe). I tried running the Tomcat available via yum/rpm, but had other configuration problems setting up the security manager (unrelated, I believe).
Update: I'm cautiously optimistic that this bug is the same as #121902. I should know in a day or so, if things continue to go well (fingers crossed).
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy, and this bug refers to tomcat version 4.x, last shipped in FC2. tomcat5 replaced it, and has quite a few differences, so please retest the bug. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version.
