[SOLVED] Need Help - tomcat not running

[chameleons84]

Hi I dont know if this is the place to ask, but I will anyways. I am dealing with the tomcat not running issue. I have checked the permissions on the redo.log and delete the stale pid but nothing I do gets tomcat back. Please help

Not exactly the correct place for that post - tagged onto a thread that was nothing to do with your problem - I'll move it.

Have you looked in the logs to see what the problem is? You don't say which version/release of Zimbra nor which operating system nor what you've done to troubleshoot this issue. It's somewhat difficult to help as my psychic skills don't work on Monday mornings.

Please search the forums and give us some detailed information about your problem.

Hey Bill
Sorry for not giving more information. I am running Zimbra 4.5.4 on Fedora Core 5 with a 1.6 dual quad core with 4 gigs of RAM. I have looked at several of the logs but I am a beginner with linux and dont really know where to start. I looked at several threads to see if anyone had a similar problem but couldn't really find anything. Could you give me a place to start? Thanks for the quick reply!!(The previous reply)

I guess this isn't a new install? When did this problem start to occur? As it's a tomcat problem you can look in /opt/zimbra/apache-tomcat-5.5.15/logs/catalina.out and you can also look in /var/log/zimbra.log for any error messages. What does a 'zmcontrol status' show?

[chameleons84]

this installation is about 2 months old
zmcontrol status shows this:

antispam Running
antivirus Running
imapproxy Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Stopped
tomcat is not running
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running


catalina.out shows this:

Well i found the problem, imapproxy was started. I am wondering how this happened because i am quite sure that it was not me who started it and I am the sole admin. Any ideas

[jholder]

nope. Zimbra shouldn't just toggle that option. If it did, we'd have major problems.

Most people accidentally enable this thinking that they enable the POP/IMAP server.
