Tomcat won't start

[Leon Vergottini <le...@cornerstone.ac.za>]

Hi

 

I think I am being stupid this morning, but for some reason a Tomcat instance does not want to start.

 

When starting Tomcat, I only get the following:

 

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/current/tomcat

Using CATALINA_HOME:   /opt/current/tomcat

Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/current/tomcat/temp

Using JRE_HOME:        /opt/current/java

Using CLASSPATH:       /opt/current/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/current/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

Usage: catalina.sh ( commands ... )

commands:

  debug             Start Catalina in a debugger

  debug -security   Debug Catalina with a security manager

  jpda start        Start Catalina under JPDA debugger

  run               Start Catalina in the current window

  run -security     Start in the current window with security manager

  start             Start Catalina in a separate window

  start -security   Start in a separate window with security manager

  stop              Stop Catalina, waiting up to 5 seconds for the process to end

  stop n            Stop Catalina, waiting up to n seconds for the process to end

  stop -force       Stop Catalina, wait up to 5 seconds and then use kill -KILL if still running

  stop n -force     Stop Catalina, wait up to n seconds and then use kill -KILL if still running

  configtest        Run a basic syntax check on server.xml - check exit code for result

  version           What version of tomcat are you running?

Note: Waiting for the process to end and use of the -force option require that $CATALINA_PID is defined

 

The Tomcat instances is ver 8.0.32 and Java 1.8.0_77 installed.

 

No logs files are created to troubleshoot.

 

May I kindly ask for direction.

 

Kind Regards

Leon

What, exactly are you typing on the command line when you see the above?

What is the current working directory when you do this?

Where is Tomcat installed?
