Dear all, I have a great news: IT WORKS !! the localhost log file from Tomcat is now OK. It now can find the java files expected in /Library/Tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/base2/org/apache/jsp/ Since then the tomcat-launchd.sdtout do not output any error message with the "Existing PID file found during start. Existing PID file found during start" Catalina log file looks now also fine
using "ps -e | grep Tomcat" I can check that Catalina process is running with the right options: -Xmx1G -Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false -Dcom.sun.media.jai.disableMediaLib=true -Djava.awt.headless=true No more windowed application named org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap that remain On the Activity monitor, the java and sh processes owned by _appserver keeps the same PID number (which was not the case before /Library/Tomcat/catalina_pid.txt contains the java PID number How did I get up to that stage. First I changed the owner of the /Library/Tomcat/work/Catalina directory: sudo chown -R _appserver /Library/Tomcat/work/Catalina and removed its contained directories rm -f /Library/Tomcat/work/Catalina/* Since I did not have any /Library/Tomcat/logs/tomcat.pid file I created a link to the catalina one: ln -s /Library/Tomcat/catalina_pid.txt /Library/Tomcat/logs/tomcat.pid I then follow up Jari's idea from his script: Using the Activity Moniteur I killed the java process from _appserver (it restarted a second after) and then the one from the shell also owned by _appserver. This one took almost a minute to restart. I could then check that the /Library/Tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/base2/org/apache/jsp/ was built up. And now from the browser, I can login from the webpage localhost:8080/base2 I can do it both on the server or from an other computer It looks like now I can go on, creating the user accounts, etc… Hope this summery will be helpful if some one else meets similar problems Thank you very much to Jari and Nicklas for their patient help and deep analyses. I just hope not to have any other questions from now… Cheers, Laurent Le 13 sept. 2013 à 16:42, Jari Häkkinen <jari.hakki...@med.lu.se> a écrit : > On 2013-09-13 13:08, Laurent Troxler wrote: >> I noticed what could be an interesting point.
