tomcat errors on start (jss on CentOS 5.5)

[rockpapergoat]

I updated a test instance of the jss running on CentOS 5.5 from 8 to 8.1 and am having trouble getting tomcat to start.

8.0 was running fine on this vm before, so 8.1 should work once this issue is resolved.

Here's a snippet of the tomcat error logs:

For good measure, I replaced the web app contents under /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/ROOT with a fresh exploded copy of the jamf.war. mysql is running with updates to the db, as defined by jamfsoftware80-81.sql. mysql is running, firewall permits traffic to 8443 (it's actually disabled for now), and all else looks fine.

I appreciate any help here.

Thanks,

Nate

On my Windows box in order to get everything running I needed to delete
the Catalina folder which was housing some cached files.

Thanks, Matt.

Is that basically equivalent to /etc/tomcat5/Catalina?

Purging that directory didn't seem to have any effect.

I had other issues with using tomcat5 and 8.1. it was mostly authentication issues. I am using redhat 5.5. with tomcat6 and 8.1 and it works great.

Good to know. Is the setup the same? I'll just move to tomcat6, if so.

[dhowell]

Yeah same install. I had to add a repo to use yum cause we have in house repositories. Just instead of directories that say tomcat5 they say tomcat6.

Just to follow up, the tomcat6 install got the jss working fine. Thanks for the tip!
