Yes. My tomcat is definitely not starting up :( I am not sure how to debug this issue though. I tried changing the port. It didn't help.
For this error - SEVERE: Could not contact localhost:8005. Tomcat may not be running. When I do - myMac:logs test$ telnet localhost 8005 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host Does this mean anything?
