[Deploying Sakai] tomcat not working properly

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Matthew,

When you startup, the log should be available in /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out

In a separate terminal window/tab, if you issue 'tail -f opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out' as a command (without the ') then you'll see the log messages fly past. Check this for any exceptions or error messages, or just attach it here and we can take a look. However, delete the old one, then start Sakai again and send a fresh one so it doesn't contain multiple startups.

Also, make sure you aren't running anything on port 8080 already? Run 'netstat' and check the first table for the ports that are up, see if 8080 is amongst them.

cheers,
Steve

Furthermore, http://localhost:4848 isn't loading either, which supposedly is an online console for java? (Not sure if this matters or not.) Anyways, my only lead so far is an error I am receiving when running shutdown.sh in tomcat/bin. Here's a brief excerpt of the error I get:
