I guess not. But maybe you shoudl 7.0.50 give a try. APR was updated in one of 
the not released versions after your lastest 7.0.42.
Also a minimal testcase would help to check if this is reproducable on other 
peoples machine (like they did in the bugzilla ticket)

Thanks Stefan, will definitely try "Tomcat 7.0.50" as well as try to build a 
minimal test case..

In my opinion it's not a good idea to break api in minor version upgrade.

Linux will not allow anything but root to bind on ports < 1024.
Usually the process starts as root, binds to the port and then drops it's
privileges back to the desired user.
You'll need to use jsvc to start Tomcat and drop privileges. It is simply
apache commons daemon and you should use version 1.0.15 or higher, I'm not
sure what version is in 12.04 LTS so you may need to compile it.

Some documentation is here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/jsvc.html

There are a couple of other options described here:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#How_to_run_Tomcat_without_root_privileges.3F

But the best one is commons daemon / jsvc.

Hi, Timur-

I've missed a good part of this thread but is the content type set

Re: [tomcat7] rhel 6 - init.d script works; does not start on reboot

Great feedback, Mark! Thanks!

As this will be for a single app, I'm not concerned with having quite as 
complex of a setup as you do. The box does not seem to have selinux enabled:

[ebush@tuldgskap01 ~]$ selinuxenabled
[ebush@tuldgskap01 ~]$ echo $?
1


Not enabled. I think this is probably not wise (especially in production 
machines). We run with selinux enforcing on production and permissive on 
development boxes.




Is there something that would cause the script to be successfully invocable 
interactively and yet make it fail at boot? I'm thinking the answer is yes, 
based off of what I'm seeing. Perhaps sudo doesn't like being run by root?


Don't use sudo in a script. If you're running selinux use:

/sbin/runuser [user-name] -c [command]

If you're not running selinux use:

/sbin/su [user-name] -c [command]



Since I'll lead the dev team, I'll have teeth to make sure the app does not 
misbehave. I can't imagine why one would, as I've never had issues before. I 
suppose, if requests were still processing, a problem could occur. However, 
we'll use F5 and drain-stop the node prior to performing maintenance, so ... 
I'm going to take a simpler path than you've advocated but keep your thoughts 
around in case I do experience an issue :-)

I'll look into a more formal daemon mechanism. I think commons-daemon comes with tomcat. 
I'm trying to avoid many manual pieces like that, but working (and I define working as 
"it comes up after boot") is not optional!


Yes, it does come with Tomcat. However your script should work (wouldn't 
recommend it for production, but dev would be OK) provided you use 
/sbin/su or /sbin/runuser.


Thanks again! ... and thanks to the others who have provided feedback too! It 
is very much appreciated! My take-away: there's a standard way to launch a 
daemon, and you should be doing that!

Hi, Eddie-

It's been a while but one script I used had the following start line:

daemon --user ${tomcat_user} ${tomcat_script} start ${tomcat_start_opts}

where daemon was a function defined in init.d/functions.  Within daemon,
runuser was used to execute the startup script.

This won't work.

1. Use JRE_HOME and set it to where your JRE is installed

Technically you can use JAVA_HOME, but Tomcat no longer needs javac 
(unless you've changed the stock configuration).


2. sudo won't work if you have SELinux enabled

use /sbin/runuser

3. I use catalina.sh

My command to start Tomcat ends up looking like this:

$SU - $TOMCAT_USER -c "${CONFIG_OPTS} ${CAT_PID} ${TOMCAT_INSTANCE}" 
start > $SERVICE_LOG 2>1&!


(obviously all on one line)

where:

$SU is the proper su command (/sbin/su or /sbin/runuser)
$TOMCAT_USER is the tomcat user
$CONFIG_OPTS contains all of the options:
 CATALINA_HOME
 CATALINA_BASE
 JRE_HOME
$CAT_PID is the pid file to write
$TOMCAT_INSTANCE is $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh
$SERVICE_LOG is where I write my service startup and shutdown messages

I run multiple Tomcats from one CATALINA_HOME (see RUNNING.txt in the 
Tomcat distribution). Each Tomcat gets its own init script, and each 
init script reads a corresponding configuration file that sets 
CATALINA_HOME, CATALINA_BASE, the PID file, and JRE_HOME. That way I can 
run multiple versions of Tomcat with different JREs and still use one 
init script (copied to a new service name for each Tomcat).


While the stop command is the same as the start command (just substitute 
stop for start), there are some other issues you have to worry about.


1. Is it really running?
2. Did it really stop?

Some misbehaving applications make it difficult to stop Tomcat. I 
currently loop for a configurable amount of time, and check the status 
of Tomcat once per second. If I fail to stop Tomcat after the 
configurable amount of time, I issue a kill -9. That's all logged so I 
know which Tomcat is causing problems, and I have a

Re: [tomcat7] rhel 6 - init.d script works; does not start on reboot

2014-01-15 Thread Mark Eggers

Some replies inline:

Summary:

I run lots of Tomcats from init scripts on CentOS 6.5. The init script
is . . . ugly. Mine is 500+ lines long.

I'd recommend looking at commons-daemon. Tomcat comes with a script that
can be used as a starting point (daemon.sh)

EB, one of the places I started with was the Tomcat script in the 
distribution package. Unfortunately, that way lies madness.



Also, can you confirm that the init script is actually being called?
It would be helpful to know how far things get before they break
down.  Since you've said that *no* Tomcat logs get created, I would
expect that things don't get very far.  Maybe add some logging / echo
statements to see what does and doesn't run.



Some things to consider when you're writing your Tomcat script:

1. Do you run with SELinux enabled?

If so, use /sbin/runuser instead of su

2. Do you write your PID files in the standard RedHat locations?

If so, make sure that the directory is read/write for the user Tomcat is 
run under.


3. Do you write any service startup and shutdown logs?

If so, make sure that the directory is read/write for the user Tomcat is 
run under.






This may be more of a *nix question than a tomcat question, but I
thought I'd try here first since it is in the context of tomcat
itself.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Good to know how the permissions are set on the Tomcat directory.

I have Google'd myself to death! I'm at my wits end! I'm honestly
at the point of thinking about punting this issue until another
day or possibly resigning to making sure that any workflow which
involves a server reboot includes a step for starting tomcat
(yuck!).

Thanks in advance for any input!

There are a lot of other housekeeping things to do before starting up 
Tomcat. Also, if you have misbehaving applications you'll want to write 
fairly robust shutdown and restart functions.


However, first things first:

1. Make sure you're using the correct su command (surunner or su)
2. Make sure all of the ancillary directories (see above) have the
   right permissions

When I searched for a startup script a few years ago, I couldn't find 
one either. I started with the CentOS distribution script, but that 
quickly became a mess. It dynamically configures ports (for starters) to 
handle multiple Tomcat instances.


My script works, but it's pretty muc

It got renamed to validateTld to better describe what it actually does as part 
of the XML work in 7.0.48 (which wasn't released until 7.0.50). I see at least 
one place in the docs where this wasn't changed. I'll get that fixed for the 
next release. If this turns out to be a problem for folks we can add support 
for the old name as well.

tomcat 7 with APR connector on ubuntu

2014-01-15 Thread Mubeen Shah
Hello,

I am trying to configure tomcat 7 on ubuntu machine and wanted to run it as
non-root on port 80, Here is what I did so far:

OS (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS):

- installed oracle JDK 1.7.0_45 using "apt-get"
- downloaded and extracted tomcat 7.0.50 (.gz format)
- created ubuntu user 'tomcat' and granted 'chown -R CATALINA_HOME' to this
user
- changed tomcat default port to 80 in server.xml
- installed and configured authbind tool
- created sh script "/etc/init.d/tomcat7" to start tomcat as tomcat user.
- tomcat 7 was working as expected on 80 port as non-root user.
- later I configured APR 1.5.0 and tried to run tomcat again, I got this
error:

If I am removing out this line from server.xml:


Tomcat working on 80 port as non-root user and starting "http-bio-80"
properly.

Another thing is if I am trying to run tomcat as "root" along with APR
support, its working just fine.

Any advise why its working on "http-bio-80" while throwing bind exception
on "http-apr-80"??

Re: Oracle Application Server 10g R3 works fine with RK-1048 codepage but Tomcat 7.0.47 does not.

2014-01-15 Thread Тимур Кулибаев
Hello, Chris !

I applied settings you adviced:
Don't you want user.langauge=RU user.country=kz?

[oracle@n36 logs]$ echo $JAVA_OPTS
-XX:MaxPermSize=128M -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -Duser.language=RU -Duser.country=kz

But our java-application gives the following message:

15.01.2014 21:41:01 org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
MESSAGE = ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
, ERRORCODE = 604

So, there can be problems in a couple of places. If you have an
extended characters correctly-stored in the Oracle database, will it
display correctly if you try to show it on a web page? Let's make sure
that works first, then we'll tackle submitting such characters via
forms.
Note that using extended characters in GET requests is a nightmare:
you should try to avoid it at all costs.

There are two state languages in Kazakhstan - Russian and Kazakh and both
must
be supported. Our Oracle database works in single-byte cyrillic encoding
and
its size is up to 1 tB now. If we convert one to Unicode it will be ~2 tB
which
is impossible for us as no disk space.
Our java servlet was created based on Oracle UIX technology which is old
enough.
Within seven years we successfully use this servlet with Oracle Application
Server 10g R2/R3 (now OAS 10.1.3.5). There are not any troubles with Kazakh
letters displaying on web-pages with Oracle Application Server.  But Tomcat
gives
troubles with Kazakh letters displaying. What difference between Oracle
Application
Server and Tomcat in characters processing ?  In production we still use
this
servlet with Oracle Application Server. I can see any its settings if you
tell me
which ones to check.
>From Tomcat doc I see that we can convert GET-request to specified code
page by
using "URIEncoding" in http-connector definition of server.xml. I have
tried to use
the followng:
 <--also tried without this one

May be we must do some tracing to understand the root of the trouble ?

Thank you for your helping me.
Waiting for your advices,

RE: [tomcat7] rhel 6 - init.d script works; does not start on reboot

2014-01-15 Thread Bush, Eddie
Gene - chkconfig thinks everything is copasetic and reports that it should be 
starting in runlevel 2-5. All the links have been created properly in the rc#.d 
directories that correspond to runlevel 2-5. They all point to the init.d 
script :-) and are permissioned identically to other links/scripts.

Not sure what OS you are running, but in CentOS you can use the chkconfig 
command to see at what run levels that script is set to start.  You can use the 
same command to set the script to start at certain run levels.

extremely similar to what nginx uses, since that works fine. chkconfig likes 
the script, and sets it up in what looks to be perfect form (comparing to other 
things). These are pretty standard scripts though, yes? They basically just 
delegate to the scripts distributed with tomcat, which all end up calling 
catalina.sh :-)

Have you verified that user / permissions are set correct to run as a service?  
Keep in mind that running as a service may be running Tomcat as a different 
user.

[tomcat7] rhel 6 - init.d script works; does not start on reboot

2014-01-15 Thread Bush, Eddie
Howdy, List!

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I'm a senior dev, and quite good at that, but 
for my new client I'm also charged with configuring our machines. We're running 
on Tomcat 7, so I grabbed the tgz and installed it per the instructions.

Everything works great! ... until I reboot the server :) At that point, 
everything else comes up, but tomcat does not.

I have removed all logs and rebooted and see nothing notable in any of the 
tomcat logs (because, of course, it did not start), nor can I find anything in 
syslog or messages. The chkconfig command reports that the script is configured 
to run for runlevel 2-5, and I've even inspected the links in rc.d/rc*.d and 
they are linked to the init.d script (which is the same danged script that 
works interactively via "service tomcat start/stop"!)

This may be more of a *nix question than a tomcat question, but I thought I'd 
try here first since it is in the context of tomcat itself.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I have Google'd myself to death! I'm at my wits end! I'm honestly at the point 
of thinking about punting this issue until another day or possibly resigning to 
making sure that any workflow which involves a server reboot includes a step 
for starting tomcat (yuck!).

Thanks in advance for any input!

Thank you anyway for writing this.  It allows us (and anyone else
consulting the email archives later) to see some logical end to the issue.

But I have to say that considering your earlier descriptions of the issue
(a servlet just reading a local file and sending it), what you mention
above doesn't quite fit.
An "external domain" cannot just "insert some scripts" into a static page
on the server, can it ?
I'd be curious to see a real full and accurate explanation of the problem,
later.




You keep top-posting, which is not nice.
Here is how it's done :

Well, you are probably right to worry, but not about Tomcat.

If you are on a Windows PC, do this :
- install "wget" (you'll find it on the WWW)
- do :
cd \temp
C:\temp>wget -O suspect.js 
"http://wac.edgecastcdn.net/800952/400b1e1c-5766-45fe-a132-1e98616c551e-api/gsrs?g=dae3ecf9-d

ab8-409b-952c-c2eb328442d9&is=trlssg"

and then have a look at that "suspect.js"

Since it is not in the original file on the server, and since I cannot imagine how 
anything on the server can just "insert that section" into the page before returning it, 
we have to imagine that the insertion happens on your workstation.

Which looks to me like a possible virus/trojan.
Or an unexpected effect of the javascript that is already in your page, but possibly 
malware anyway.


Scan you PC.

And I will re-scan mine, because I also viewed your test page.

A Google search for : who is "wac.edgecastcdn.net"
can be helpful.
