Public bug reported: Binary package hint: tomcat6
Tomcat6 is failing to start my web application and I am having trouble diagnosing the problem because no log files appear to be getting generated. My setup is as follows. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-15-generic GNOME 2.26.1 I am using the sun-java6-jdk. I have installed the following tomcat packages: tomcat6 (version 6.0.18) tomcat6-common (version 6.0.18) libtomcat6-java tomcat6-admin tomcat6-docs tomcat6-examples The examples run fine but generate no log information. Tomcat installs into /usr/share/tomcat6 Catalina base appears to be /var/lib/tomcat6 I have installed the web application that I want to run as: /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/myapp.war Tomcat tries to deploy it, as evidenced by it being unpacked when Tomcat6 is restarted using: sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart Deployment fails however. I determine this via the tomcat6 administration web interface where the relevant application is shown with a running status of false. When I try to use the tomcat web application manager to start the web application the message is: FAIL - Application at context path ... could not be started When I look in /var/log/tomcat6 to see details of why it could not be started, I find that the directory is empty. Any suggestions about how to get tomcat6 to record the relevant logs and where they should be recorded would be very helpful at this stage. It seems peculiar to me to have no logging being generated by the default package install configuration.
