Problem with tomcat stop

[stefank2]

Hello,

when I try to stop alfresco I get the following error message from tomcat:

I am using ArchLinux, does anyone have an idea what could cause this?
I could rule out most of the common reasons for this problem, like another program using port 8080 and tomcat not running.

Greetings,

Hello,

this problem usually has nothing to do with some other program using the HTTP connector on port 8080, rather the port 8005 (default) which the Tomcat SHUTDOWN listener is using.
Another possibility could be a firewall issue - the shutdown command opens a TCP connection to the SHUTDOWN listener and this may fail either due to a firewall blocking the request or an IP-related connectivity issue (e.g. localhost mapping to an IPv6 address while the listener is bound to the IPv4 host address).

Hi Stefan, 
I had faced this same problem after I had my Alfresco service stopped and then trying to start, but when I check " ps aux | grep alf " I could  see some java  based process running by alfresco users. Before knowing this I did start alfresco and I used to get this error message.
I solved it by killing those java process by alfresco user and then starting the alfresco service
This problem of not stopping all the services has been already submitted as a bug by other members

Hello,

thanks for your replies.

I looked if there is a process that blocks port 8005, but there is none.
Stopping the firewall didn't fix it either.

I'm going to search for the bug-reports, maybe there is something I can use.


Greetings,

Stefan
