Tomcat not starting

[Rick Baker]

I accidently changed some ssl ports. Now Tomcat will not start. See attatched.

Can I edit a file manually to fix this.

Well, I don't really know how to solve this, but since no one else has replied, I'll toss out some ideas :-)

First off -- in general, changing the SSL port shouldn't prevent Tomcat from starting. But, do you happen to know what port it was changed to?

It looks like it's failing, because an address is already in use. Often, that's because parts of Zimbra are still running. After running /etc/init.d/zimbra stop, maybe you could also look through the 'ps aux' output and verify no processes belonging to zimbra are running.

With any luck, after killing any existing processes, starting Zimbra would proceed flawlessly ;-)
