What messages are before this one in the logs? (Clear the log files and then start Tomcat). Normally the workflow is the following: 1) init() initializes connectors and port binding happens 2) priviledges are dropped 3) start() Your stacktrace is from start(). I wonder why it is so, but without looking in the sources I cannot say more. Please provide full logs as I mentioned above. You may have better luck with 7.0.x. Lifecycle handling was improved in 7.0. In 7.0.x there is explicit "bindOnInit" attribute in connectors.
