tomcat6 installation on BT5 R3 Gnome 64bit: cannot access localhost:8080

**hannah** · 10-16-2012, 09:14 PM

ok this is about installing tomcat6

It did work when I installed it first time (and then only). Since then I could not access localhost:8080 at all. Let me run through what I have done:

My machine:
Linux bt 3.2.6 #1 SMP Fri Feb 17 10:34:20 EST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Installed tomcat6 with this command:

Code:

apt-get install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin tomcat6-examples tomcat6-docs

Installation was ok.

Then I started the service:

Code:

root@bt:~# /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6                                                                       [ OK ]

Look at netstat output:

Code:

root@bt:~# netstat -tunlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

nmap output of 127.0.0.1

Code:

root@bt:~# nmap -sS 127.0.0.1

Starting Nmap 6.01 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-10-17 15:48 NZDT

8080/tcp open  http-proxy

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.29 seconds
root@bt:~#

Now trying to access http://localhost:8080/ and it is timing out.

Funny is that it worked once when I first installed tomcat6 for the very first time I could see "It Works" page with all the infos in it.
Since then I cannot access it anymore.

I have removed the tomcat6 and re-installed but I just cannot aeccess http://localhost:8080/
I have checked my proxy setting and it's set to ignore hosts
127.0.0.0/8

I really do not what else I can possibly do.
Please someone help.

Kind regards

I am a bit desperate at the moment: a bit more info:

Code:

root@bt:~# service tomcat6 status
 * Tomcat servlet engine is running with pid 1928
root@bt:~# netstat -nlp | grep 8080

**hannah** · 10-16-2012, 09:39 PM

just for the heck of it I have edited this file:

root@bt:/etc/tomcat6# nano server.xml

Code:

<Connector port="8081" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" 
               URIEncoding="UTF-8"
               redirectPort="8443" />

then:
restart tomcat server:

Code:

root@bt:/etc/tomcat6# /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
 * Stopping Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6                                                                                   [ OK ] 
 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6                                                                                   [ OK ]

check the listening port

Code:

root@bt:/etc/tomcat6# netstat -tunlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

which is correctly changed to 8081 but when I point to
http://127.0.0.1:8081/

nothing happens and it times out..
Please someone help..

**hannah** · 10-17-2012, 03:57 AM

No success yet but further testing:

Code:

root@bt:~# /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
 * Stopping Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6                                                                                                        [ OK ] 
 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6                                                                                                        [ OK ] 
root@bt:~# netstat -tunpl

Note the PID number..Then I am trying to find all the log files which are written by this process:

Code:

root@bt:~# lsof -p 31110 | grep log
java    31110 tomcat6    1w   REG    8,3   317646 2113555 /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out

then output from catalina.2012-10-17.log related to this start:

Code:

hello hannah

I hope you understand [I state that I understand little or nothing]
if you can help:
I had your same test on my BT5-r3 (kde64) [fresh-install-vm]
access to "localhost: 8080" [home-page] I get more and even after several "" reboot ""
no time-out!
I've edit the file / etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xlm with "" my credentials "
and it seems that access is ON [home-page] ( (the pid changed but the accessIP

ort is the same) )

Hi zimmaro..thanks mate but I am sorry I did not quite understand what you mean here..

Anyway no love from tomcat as yet..

I have now done a whole lot of work but I believe I now have broke it completely..let me explain step by step:

I have decided to completely remove tomcat and re-install it and this is what I have done:

Code:

dpkg -l|grep tomcat
then
sudo dpkg -P tomcat6
then
apt-get purge tomcat6

I still see a lot instances of tomcat6 by running:

Code:

oot@bt:~/scripts# dpkg -l|grep tomcat
ii  libtomcat6-java                                   6.0.24-2ubuntu1.10                                Servlet and JSP engine -- core libraries
ii  tomcat6-admin                                     6.0.24-2ubuntu1.10                                Servlet and JSP engine -- admin web applications
ii  tomcat6-common                                    6.0.24-2ubuntu1.10                                Servlet and JSP engine -- common files
ii  tomcat6-docs                                      6.0.24-2ubuntu1.10                                Servlet and JSP engine -- documentation
ii  tomcat6-examples                                  6.0.24-2ubuntu1.10                                Servlet and JSP engine -- example web applications

Then I manually remove this folder

rm -R /etc/tomcat6

I then see traces of tomcat6 here:

Code:

Then I see tarces of tomcat6 here:
root@bt:/usr/share# ls -l | grep tomcat6
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root      4096 2012-10-18 10:20 tomcat6
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root      4096 2012-10-17 12:53 tomcat6-admin
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root      4096 2012-10-17 12:53 tomcat6-docs
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root      4096 2012-10-17 12:53 tomcat6-examples

I remove those files manually as well.
Then I fire up synaptic and surprise I see a lot of traces of tomcat6 ..see the pic..

then I install tomcat6 from Synaptic

tried to start the service throug init.d but now getting fail
Anyway so I remove this Synaptic installation and install it with apt-get

Code:

apt-get install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin tomcat6-examples tomcat6-docs

After installation tomcat6 service tried to start but getting error

Code:

After installation:
Setting up tomcat6 (6.0.24-2ubuntu1.10) ...
 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6                                                 [fail] 
invoke-rc.d: initscript tomcat6, action "start" failed.

Setting up tomcat6-admin (6.0.24-2ubuntu1.10) ...
Setting up tomcat6-docs (6.0.24-2ubuntu1.10) ...
Setting up tomcat6-examples (6.0.24-2ubuntu1.10) ...

So I manually tried to start tomcat with start up script located here:

Code:

root@bt:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin# ./startup.sh

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat6/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr
Using CLASSPATH:       /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar
touch: cannot touch `/usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out': No such file or directory
/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/catalina.sh: line 332: /usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out: No such file or directory

So I manually created the folder logs and file catalina.out

Now I currently have this: /usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out

Now running the start up script again and getting no error there:

Code:

root@bt:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin# ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat6/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr
Using CLASSPATH:       /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar

So I go back to init.d

Code:

root@bt:/etc/init.d# ./tomcat6 restart
 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6                                                  [fail]

YUP...very much so... [fail]

Yes I just managed to lot of work and achieved nothing...

Help plz...some one..

**linou** · 10-17-2012, 12:13 PM

This might give some indication..

Hope to get an answer

**hannah** · 10-17-2012, 09:42 PM

Ok.. obviously I have given up on tomcat6 so I again completely removed and am trying to install tomcat7 MANUALLY

I have followed the instruction here:
http://clean-clouds.com/2011/10/19/i...t-7-on-ubuntu/

I have downloaded tomcat7 from here
http://mirror.sdunix.com/apache/tomc...-7.0.32.tar.gz

It works...and I am happy..

I am sure if I have manually installed tomcat6 it would have worked...

thanks
