The Tomcat 5.0.27-r4 install works just fine, but both the catalina.sh and the startup.sh scripts in /opt/tomcat5/bin/ don't work. However, if I run the startup-using-launcher.sh script it does startup correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Run /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start or /opt/tomcat5/bin/startup.sh or /opt/tomcat5/bin/catalina.sh Actual Results: When the catalina.sh script is run I can see a bunch of blackdown processes start but after a second or two they all stop. Same thing happens with the startup.sh script. Expected Results: Tomcat should have started and bound itself to port 8080.

I noticed from the log file that tomcat was looking for jmx but not finding it. So I decided install jmx. Now I'm at least getting errors in the log: WARNING: Unexpected exception resolving reference java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/tomcat5/conf/tomcat-users.xml (Permission denied) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106) at org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabase.open(MemoryUserDatabase.java:354) at org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory.getObjectInstance(MemoryUserDatabaseFactory.java:97) at org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory.getObjectInstance(ResourceFactory.java:129) at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getObjectInstance(NamingManager.java:301) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:791) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:151) at org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm.start(UserDatabaseRealm.java:252) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1075) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:478) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:2313) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:556) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:284) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:422) javax.naming.NamingException: /opt/tomcat5/conf/tomcat-users.xml (Permission denied) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:803) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:151) at org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm.start(UserDatabaseRealm.java:252) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1075) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:478) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:2313) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:556) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:284) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:422) Jan 23, 2005 5:12:37 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start SEVERE: Catalina.start: LifecycleException: No UserDatabase component found under key UserDatabase at org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm.start(UserDatabaseRealm.java:259) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1075) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:478) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:2313) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:556) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:284) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:422) Jan 23, 2005 5:12:37 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 356 ms
I was trying to reproduce your problem on my machine, and I wasn't able to. To me, it seems tomcat is looking for /opt/tomcat5/conf/tomcat-users.xml, and either it doesn't exist, or you don't have the correct permission. Are you running /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start as root? You should run that script as root.

I no longer get the crash messages. However, it still doesn't correctly startup. Here is what the output looks like from the log file: Jan 24, 2005 12:32:49 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol init INFO: Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 Jan 24, 2005 12:32:49 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load INFO: Initialization processed in 3248 ms Jan 24, 2005 12:32:50 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService start INFO: Starting service Catalina Jan 24, 2005 12:32:50 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine start INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/5.0.27 Jan 24, 2005 12:32:50 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost start INFO: XML validation disabled Jan 24, 2005 12:32:50 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost getDeployer INFO: Create Host deployer for direct deployment ( non-jmx ) Jan 24, 2005 12:32:50 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL file:/etc/tomcat5/Catalina/local I can see java processes startup for a second, but they all shut down eventually.

I'm also getting some grsec output... grsec: From 24.98.197.246: signal 11 sent to /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01/jre/bin/java[java:31475] uid/euid:103/103 gid/egid:429/429, parent /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01/bin/jdb[jdb:13412] uid/euid:103/103 gid/egid:429/429
and that is exactly your problem, grsecurity kills the java binaries at runtime. you have 2 options, either disable grsecurity completly or disable the grsecurity features on your java binaries using chpax or paxctl (see manpages of them how to do this).
Ah... that makes sense. Disabling the memory protection for the java executable worked.
