Bug 471639

It seems that somehow /usr/bin/dtomcat6 doesn't know what JAVA_HOME is set to. For all tomcat6 installations on opensuse 11.1 we had to add the following:

. /etc/profile.d/alljava.sh

on line #13

Otherwise, /etc/init.d/tomcat6 is unusable.

I added the output from 'echo $JAVA_HOME' to the top of /usr/bin/dtomcat6 to get round it.

It seems that a default JAVA_HOME missed in sysconfig.

Submitted a fixed package. The default value of JAVA_HOME is /etc/alternatives/jre, so tomcat6 will be ready after installation.

Update released for: tomcat6, tomcat6-admin-webapps, tomcat6-docs-webapp, tomcat6-javadoc, tomcat6-jsp-2_1-api, tomcat6-lib, tomcat6-servlet-2_5-api, tomcat6-webapps
Products:
openSUSE 11.1 (i586)

After installing the updates tomcat does not work. I reinstalled also it and the situation is the same - it does not work.
I get the following:
rctomcat6 start
Starting Tomcat (/usr/share/tomcat6)                                    done

rctomcat6 status
Checking for Tomcat (/usr/share/tomcat6)                                dead

BUT after starting 
dtomcat6 start
/usr/bin/dtomcat6: line 22: /logs/catalina.out: No such file or directory

Maybe the problem is in the directory /logs - there is no such directory in opensuse 11.1

Did you use a default configuration, or change something? Because my installation works perfect. And a /logs/catalina.out is strange, because a default value in initscript is /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out

What do you have in /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6 and /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf?

We see the same issue, after upgrading to this latest patch:

wikitest:~ # rctomcat6 start
Starting Tomcat (/usr/share/tomcat6)lock file found but no process running for pid 7878, continuing                                                  done
wikitest:~ # rctomcat6 status
Checking for Tomcat (/usr/share/tomcat6)                             dead
wikitest:~ # rctomcat6 stop
Shutting down Tomcat (/usr/share/tomcat6)                            failed

And here are our config files:

wikitest:~ # egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6
JAVA_HOME=""
JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dconfluence.disable.peopledirectory.anonymous=true -Djava.awt.headless=true"
TOMCAT_OPTS=""
CATALINA_OPTS=""

wikitest:~ # egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf
JAVA_HOME="/etc/alternatives/jre"
CATALINA_BASE="/usr/share/tomcat6"
CATALINA_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat6"
JASPER_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat6"
CATALINA_TMPDIR="/var/cache/tomcat6/temp"
TOMCAT_USER="tomcat"
SECURITY_MANAGER="false"
SHUTDOWN_WAIT="30"
SHUTDOWN_VERBOSE="false"
CATALINA_PID="/var/run/tomcat6.pid"

As you can see, they're the default, except adding extra memory options.

Again, the problem is fixed by making sure /usr/bin/dtomcat6 knows what JAVA_HOME is, for example:

--- /usr/bin/dtomcat6.orig      2009-02-25 09:26:11.148524078 -0500
+++ /usr/bin/dtomcat6   2009-02-25 09:26:32.827550895 -0500
@@ -6,6 +6,8 @@
 #    TOMCAT_CFG="/etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf"
 #fi

+. /etc/profile.d/alljava.sh
+
 if [ -r "$TOMCAT_CFG" ]; then
     . $TOMCAT_CFG
 fi


Is there any particular reason for having two tomcat6 config files, and duplicate options between them?

Not sure if I users are able to reopen cases, but here it goes...

I use the default conguration.


 egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6
JAVA_HOME=""
JAVA_OPTS=""
TOMCAT_OPTS=""
CATALINA_OPTS=""



egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf
JAVA_HOME="/etc/alternatives/jre"
CATALINA_BASE="/usr/share/tomcat6"
CATALINA_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat6"
JASPER_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat6"
CATALINA_TMPDIR="/var/cache/tomcat6/temp"
TOMCAT_USER="tomcat"
SECURITY_MANAGER="false"
SHUTDOWN_WAIT="30"
SHUTDOWN_VERBOSE="false"
CATALINA_PID="/var/run/tomcat6.pid"

Additionally in /usr/bin/dtomcat6: line 22:  I have

${CATALINA_BASE}/logs/catalina.out

It seams  ${CATALINA_BASE} is empty

Only a dtomcat6 start don't work on my station. The rctomcat6 start works on all configurations.

I'm working on merge of sysconfig and tomcat6.conf

That makes me wonder, why is it that we see this problem? I can repeat this on any of our opensuse 11.1 machines, with the basic default configuration.

That would be great, if we could see a uniform set of configuration files. Right now it's a bit of a mess, and one doesn't know which config file actually matters.

Thanks for looking into this.

As a workaround, you should remove the following comments in /usr/bin/dtomcat6

# Don't read a conf file again - bnc#446598
#if [ -z "${TOMCAT_CFG}" ]; then
#    TOMCAT_CFG="/etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf"
#fi

This should helps and CATALINA_BASE might be read in proper way.

JFI: The tomcat6 in %post script merges a config from /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6 to /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf and saves a copy of sysconfig script to /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.sysconfig.save

The rules are following:
When the same variable is defined in tomcat6.conf, add commented sysconfig value. When the variable is not defined in tomcat6.conf, just add it.

Merged variables are JAVA_HOME, JAVA_OPTS, CATALINA_OPTS. The TOMCAT_OPTS is never used in init script and dctomcat6, so it was excluded from merge.

Reassing to me, fixed in Factory.

One more remark. After changes given in Comment #18 tomcat work but only when IPv6 is disabled. When enabling IPv6 tomcat starts but have problems with opening socket. I found information about it also of ubuntu forums - so it must be tomcat specific problem.

Can you please fill a new bug against tomcat6 and ipv6?

Lets close this bug - the sysconfig will be removed in openSUSE 11.2+
