Cause. After the application of some recent Windows Patch, It is observed that it was SCCM software Update Express (CcmExec process) or some other services which were using the Tomcat port 8005 and the port was set to 8005 by default, which may cause port binding errors.

To enable Tomcat to start on a reboot and be shut down gracefully as part of the shutdown sequence, you need to put a controller script in the /usr/local/etc/rc. d/ directory.

Administrative privileges are typically required to start, stop, and restart Apache, hence the use of the sudo command. To initiate Apache, sudo systemctl start apache2 is employed; conversely, sudo systemctl stop apache2 halts its operation. To restart, sudo systemctl restart apache2 is executed.

Common Troubleshooting Scenario. Look into Tomcat access log (the log file generated by AccessLogValve). If your request is not listed there, then it has not been processed by Tomcat. You need to look elsewhere (e.g. at your firewall).

If you have Tomcat running as a Windows Service, you can restart it from the control panel. Either right-click on the service and select Restart from the pop-up menu or, if it exists on your version of Windows, use the Restart button near the upper-right corner of the dialog box (see Figure 1-6).

There are several reasons your Apache server might fail to run. Something could be blocking the port it uses; there could be another instance of Apache already running; or there might be an incompatibility with the version of PHP you're using in MAMP.

Why does Tomcat keep crashing? ›

If Tomcat itself is crashing, then you've got a serious problem in how the server is installed and configured or your webapp is so badly-designed (request handlers spawning threads and the like) that the webapp is corrupting Tomcat. Webapps that conform to JEE standards won't corrupt Tomcat.

Use a browser to check whether Tomcat is running on URL http://localhost:8080 , where 8080 is the Tomcat port specified in conf/server. xml. If Tomcat is running properly and you specified the correct port, the browser displays the Tomcat homepage.

Enter in the host pc's ip address. 3. Once you have connected you will see the list of services on the host pc. To start and stop (or restart at once), just right click on the Apache Tomcat service.
