Error: Invalid or unreadable WAR file : error in opening zip file
Hello, I'm running the following version of tomcat: Server version: Apache Tomcat/6.0-snapshot Server built: Nov 15 2009 11:02:53 Server number: 6.0.0.0 OS Name:Linux OS Version: 2.6.24-9-pve Architecture: i386 JVM Version:1.6.0_12-b04 JVM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. And i have a shared mount between 4 tomcat servers. All of them run the same OS and tomcat version. For some reason, one of the tomcat servers stopped working and i can't start it anymore. At catalina.out, i get this error: INFO: Deploying web application archive Box.war mmap failed for CEN and END part of zip file Jul 9, 2010 2:42:27 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext resourcesStart SEVERE: Error starting static Resources java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid or unreadable WAR file : error in opening zip file I've verified and tomcat user does have read permissions to war file. Also, i don't think this is a problem with the war file ( actually, all of them ), since other tomcat servers can deploy applications normally. Do you know what might be causing this issue?

Re: Error: Invalid or unreadable WAR file : error in opening zip file
Fernando: Just a wild guess -- whenever I've had problems with unreadable WAR/JAR files, it was because they were checked into CVS as text rather than binary. So the first thing I'd do is verify the integrity of the WAR file -- did it get corrupted along the way?

You must never, never share the appBase (webapps), work, temp, or logs directories across multiple Tomcat instances. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

One way around that is to FTP the file with a different extension than .war. Once the file is fully present on the target, rename it with the proper extension. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Re: Error: Invalid or unreadable WAR file : error in opening zip file
Hello, Thanks for all replies! Let me reply to some of them: * Only webapps folder is shared between servers using glusterfs. * Tomcat version is a bit old but it has been working for months without any issues. So i don't think it is a case of upgrading it. * War files does not seem to be corrupted. Otherwise other servers wouldn't be able to deploy them, right? * I can confirm that tomcat can write to webapps and webapps/Box/, just checked these permissions. drwxrwsrwx 5 user tomcat 4.0K Jan 21 11:05 Box -rw-r--r-- 1 user tomcat 27M Jan 21 11:04 Box.war Regards, --- Fernando Marcelo Em 09/07/2010, às 10:47, Tobias Crefeld escreveu: Am Fri, 9 Jul 2010 10:21:09 -0300 schrieb Fernando Morgenstern ferna...@consultorpc.com: SEVERE: Error starting static Resources java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid or unreadable WAR file : error in opening zip file I've verified and tomcat user does have read permissions to war file.

Not necessarily that old - the Server built seems to indicate that it's roughly 9 month. To me, this looks like a Tomcat built from source. IIRC the build.properties.default does set the various version.foo properties like that (version.suffix is -dev not -snapshot nowadays, though). That makes the rest of the report extremely suspect. Seconded. At least it should be tested if a recent official Tomcat binary shows the same behaviour. -- Regards mks - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

I don't think that it is a good idea if you put your webapps-directory on a shared storage - especially if you use funny things like setgid-flag.
