Hi there.
On one day, an otherwise perfectly functioning Tomcat stops responding to requests. The log file says that one of the threads received an OutOfMemory exception, so I restart the server. Not a big deal, it has happened before. But this time the server never comes up, it hangs somewhere.
Some experimentation has shown that it works again if I remove the TLS-enabled connector from the conf/server.xml file. I have two connectors there, one for HTTP, the other for HTTPS. Both worked good until this last crash. Now, for some mysterious reason, if the HTTPS connector is present, the startup of Tomcat shows the following messages:
Sep 4, 2004 5:21:12 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol init INFO: Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-80
and there it stops. The port 80 is opened for listening but noone answers when you ring there. According to previous good starts, I should see another two lines just like those above, related to the port 443. Since the container hangs just before it should have printed them, I commented out the TLS-enabled connector and Tomcat started.
What else can I say? The actual port numbers don't matter, I tried several with the same result. TLS worked perfectly before the crash and the configuration hasn't changed in between. It was Tomcat 5.0.25, I downloaded the fresh 5.0.28 and had the same result. I installed 5.0.28 on my workstation, copied the configuration files from the server and voila, everything works here. Now I have two identical installations, the same configuration, the same keystore, the same Java VM, and on the workstation I see it working, but on the server it hangs unless I disable the TLS connector in conf/server.xml. The weirdest thing is, this TLS connector has worked on that very server for several months now, since the 5.0.18 release. I don't know wether it matters, the server is a vServer, means it shares hardware with other virtual servers. It shouldn't matter though, because I allready had this configuration working there.
Does anyone have any idea?
Ciao, Igor Zlatkovic
