Bug#408202: tomcat5.5: will not start, no log files generated

2007-01-24 Thread Marcus Better
 This is a known issue. I will try to upload a fixed version ASAP.

Sorry, I was under the impression that this affected the version in testing. 
Since it doesn't, I will aim for the solution outlined in #402878, which I 
have partly implemented, but I cannot give a target date because I've been 
busy with other things lately.

(If someone wants to help out, you can help fixing #402878 where I have coded 
up the stuff but it needs some debugging involving pipes and processes. It's 
in the svn trunk.)

Thank you. I'd noticed the pipe but didn't realize it was the issue.

Based on the other bug, I've discovered that the work-around to start the 
system is tail -f /var/log/tomcat5.5/catalina.out running somewhere while 
tomcat5.5 starts.


I am using syslog-ng instead of regular syslog, in case that makes any 
difference, and I end up with log files that have user tomcat55 and group 
nogroup.

Bug#408202: tomcat5.5: will not start, no log files generated

2007-01-23 Thread Moshe Yudkowsky
Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.20-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


My attempt to install tomcat5.5 has failed. (Tomcat5 still runs cleanly.) 
Although apt-get seems to have proceeded without problems, and even though an 
attempt to start tomcat5.5 seems to work:

# /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start
Starting Tomcat servlet engine: tomcat5.5.

tomcat5.5 does not actually start:

# telnet localhost 8180
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

and no log files are generated at all in /var/log/tomcat5.5 .

I've been through the configuration files and I've set JAVA_HOME to point to 
the correct directory via a modification to /etc/default/tomcat5.5. I'm using 
official Sun JDK 1.6.0, which is linked to via a symlink called 
/usr/local/share/jdk, regardless of kaffe in the printout below. (I assume 
that this still works in tomcat5.5, as it did in tomcat5, without any 
modifications to server.xml).

The /var/lib/tomcat5.5/conf/server.xml file has correct information, or at 
least reasonable default information, and I've uncommented the first logger 
entry in that file.

Please let me know if you need further information; while I expect this is a 
config/conflict problem, I'm unable to proceed as I can't even get log files or 
any sort of crash message. Please also note that I uninstalled all tomcat5.5 
apps. I have not tried re-installling tomcat5.5-webapps or tomcat5.5-admin.
