Tomcat taking 125 seconds to launch

I just installed tomcat 5.5.9 on Fedora FC3 and it's suddenly taking a long 
amount of time to launch - 125 seconds to be exact!

INFO: Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080
Apr 2, 2005 6:39:00 PM org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket init
INFO: JK: ajp13 listening on /0.0.0.0:8009
Apr 2, 2005 6:39:00 PM org.apache.jk.server.JkMain start
INFO: Jk running ID=0 time=0/364  config=null
Apr 2, 2005 6:39:00 PM org.apache.catalina.storeconfig.StoreLoader load
INFO: Find registry server-registry.xml at classpath resource
Apr 2, 2005 6:39:00 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 125430 ms

I didn't have this problem before - does anyone experience the same delay? 
It's also looking a bit more sluggish... Any input would be greatly 
appreciated.

Michael

how about running tcpdump on the box to see what it is doing when you 
start tomcat?

Check your /etc/hosts file you should have something like:

 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> www.yourdomain.com
<http://www.yourdomain.com>localhost

I've also heard of smilar problems related to IPv6 but can't recall what 
they were.

You guys might be on to something - on my development machine it's taking 
only 25 seconds or so (identical code, tomcat version, and mysql 
installation). Question is: how do I fix a possible DNS lookup problem?

A fairly long time, any way you cut it. It takes about 6-9s on my Athlon 
1900+ (using JDK 1.5), and a couple of seconds more on my laptop (even 
though the laptop has a 2.8GHz P4!, but runs blackdawn jdk 1.4).
Just a wild guess, but it seemes to me that you have a 2-minute timeout 
on something, and than tomcat normally loads in 5-6s.

You didn't post anything really relevant, but maybe it could be caused
by the port binding (for some reason).

Hi Mark:

Okay, the machine is a P4, 1GB RAM (512MB assigned to tomcat), and besides 
Tomcat 5.5.9, there's Apache running and mysql. Apache is not in use much. I 
have the apache logging set to WARN, so the slowdown is not due to excessive 
logging.

The site is running an image gallery and there are probably around 100 jps 
for the gallery and image pages. I am not sure if adding jsps does affect 
the startup time.

The configuration is a modified version of appfuse 1.5 (struts and 
hibernate) - so this should give you a good idea of how it is structured. 
FYI: on my development machine here at home Tomcat starts in 28 seconds - 
identical project and configuration.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - if you need any configuration files, 
just ask and I'll email them to you.

Michael
