Yup.
There are a couple of ways this can happen in tomcat. If you have for
instance your webapp in tomcat's webapps directory named
magnolia-bundled-webapp-3.5.2 and then put a context xml file in
tomcat's conf/Catalina/localhost named authorTest.xml. In this case
it'll be started once under the context path
/magnolia-bundled-webapp-3.5.2 and a second time under context path
/authorTest. Similarly if you put a <Context ... > </Context> element
in your server xml file with a path attribute different than the folder
name in the webapps directory, it'll be started twice.
I would drop the context definitions in server.xml and
conf/Catalina/localhost if you have any for magnolia and rename the
folder in webapps from magnolia-bundled-webapps-3.5.2 to what ever you
want the context path to be. That guarantees there is only one instance
of magnolia being started. If you really need to be able to deploy
magnolia without renaming the folder, deploy it outside tomcat's webapps
folder and then place a context xml file in tomcat's
conf/Catalina/localhost folder with a proper path and docBase
attribute. This also guarantees magnolia is only started once.

Have a look at this: it seems that Magnolia is being started twice...

Can you provide a complete log from the time tomcat is started until
the errors show up? Update the URL you provided in your original
post if you like. Also do you have any context.xml files in
conf/Catalalina/localhost or server.xml for this magnolia instance?

Well thanks David, but I can assure you that I only installed one
Magnolia ;-) There *was* Jackrabbit (which worked fine) but I got
rid of it to prevent confusion.
Oh and once I accessed the repository from a Java app, but then that
was some time back

Ok ... deeper look at the log suggests you have two Magnolia
instances attempting to access the same repository. Maybe you've
inadvertently attempted to map the same webapp to two separate
contexts which would create this sort of double launch.

Thanks David.
I suspect that Magnolia is trying to create the lock file more
than once, since I delete the lock file and then restart Tomcat.
No change. Plain Jackrabbit doesn't seem to have any problems.

.lock file errors typically show up when tomcat is shutdown badly
because of a JVM crash, server crash, or tomcat was forcefully
closed w/ a kill command. If the last successful run of tomcat
died badly, just delete the .lock files and start tomcat. Things
will come back to life normally.

I'm using Debian Etch, Tomcat 6 and magnolia-bundled-webapp-3.5.4
I can't start the app since there seems to be an issue with a
lock file in the repository directory. I googled on the error
string, and although it seems to be a known issue, I couldn't
see a clear solution. How can I correct this?
