The conf/ajp12.id file is written by the Ajp12Connector in your
server.xml. It stores the port, host, and optional password
to be used for shutdown. The shutdown process tries to read this
file to get this information to you don't have to supply it
on the command line. Thus, you can change the connector port
in server.xml and shutdown will use the new port automatically.
There isn't much detail about your situation to work with, so I
will guess you are using *nix. There was a bug/feature in the
tomcat.sh file for Tomcat 3.3(a) where it could optionally wait
for the existence of the ajp12.id file. Thus, the script would
not exit until Tomcat startup was well under way. This could help
with automated testing. For this to work, the tomcat.sh script
would delete any old ajp12.id file. This had the unfortunate
side effect of deleting the ajp12.id file if you started Tomcat
twice. The second one deletes the file and then fails to create
a new one because Tomcat doesn't start a second time since the
ports are in use. Because of this, deletion of the ajp12.id file
has been removed from the tomcat.sh script for Tomcat 3.3.1.
I don't have another explanation as to why the file might be
missing.
Reguardless of why the ajp12.id file is missing, you can specify
all needed information on the shutdown command line. Assuming
the default server.xml file, the following command should be
sufficient (assumes the current directory is TOMCAT_HOME):
bin/shutdown.sh port=8007
or
bin\shutdown.bat port=8007
