Hi,
not sure if this will help, but still. Basically the system thinks that tomcat is still running.
The shutdown commando for tomcat is
./shutdown.sh
Check two things;
Is tomcat still running, check that tomcat is shut down, with the command, in a terminal,
netstat -lnp | grep <port no>, the port number should probably be 8080, for tomcat.
If this gives any output it should be in the form of
tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN 19356/<name>
This shows that tomcat is running, is listening at port 8080, and has a process number 19356.
kill <process no> should fix that.
In the directory <tomcat>/temp there is a file called catalina.pid. This is created, I think, by Tomcat when it starts, delete this file.
God luck! :mrgreen:
