I had the same problem with version 6.0 of Tomcat. I used the Windows Service Installer first and there were no scripts to start or stop the server. Finally I downloaded the zip archive of the same version from the Tomcat site. The archive contains the scripts in the bin folder. I just copied the scripts into the existing folder of the installation of Tomcat and now everything works fine.

Greeting,
Steven

Steven, I doubt that you can download anything from Apache Tomcat web site. The site contains only download link which points distributions mirror. You have to verify the integrity of the downloaded files, because the mirror you are used for download could miss a few files or contain corrupted ones.

Did you have a chance to check download

You must verify the integrity of the downloaded files. We provide PGP signatures for every release file. This signature should be matched against the KEYS file which contains the PGP keys of Tomcat's Release Managers. We also provide an MD5 checksum for every release file. After you download the file, you should calculate a checksum for your download, and make sure it is the same as our

Vijay,

if you are installing from a .zip file
then-->
have you defined your classpath and JAVA_HOME environmental variables??
if you have not then define them and then try to start it again
if you have defined already then

open command prompt (CMD) then navigate to tomcat bin folder
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\>cd "Program Files"

C:\Program Files>cd "Apache Software Foundation"

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation>cd "Apache Tomcat 6.0.18"

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.18>cd bin

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.18\bin>

there is a file start up.BAT try to run the file and then please paste the output of command prompt here



but if you are installing from exe file then please re-install it with different port and try to run it in browser and paste the output of browser here

If you download the .zip version of Tomcat (rather than the .exe), it includes scripts to run Tomcat from the command line. You can also use the "net start" and "net stop" commands to control services from the command line.

I uninstalled tomcat 5.5 server and I tried to install tomcat 6.0.20 but even here I am having same problem. I am not finding startup and shutdown bat files in the bin folder.
I have installed it from "Windows Service Installer" under the "Binary Distributions" "Core" section using port 8080.

Do I need to anything for creating startup and shutdown bat files or will they be created automatically after the installation.

this is the md5 checksum given beside the "Windows Service Installer" link.

*apache-tomcat-6.0.20.exe

Thanks,
Vijay.

I can only repeat myself and it´s the same that Samuel posted.

@Misha Ver: You´re right that I didn´t download it directly from the Tomcat site , BUT the main message of my post was, that besides the download of the exe-file he has to download the zip-archive of this Tomcat version as well and use the scripts inside.

So:

1. Download and install the exe-file.

2. Download and unzip the archive of the same Tomcat version.

3. Just copy the missing scripts from the bin folder of the zip archive into the bin folder of the existing installation of Tomcat.

4. Start and stop the Server like Samuel posted.

5. Be Happy!

hey vijay,
i am asuming that you ae using tomcat 6 now

you have installed tomcat from .exe file. nothing to worry about (don't go for zip file for now)

just go to the most recent log file under log folder "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.18\logs" there you will find many log files but find the files with most recent data(todays date if you have tried start it today) you will find around 5 files there
open file with name similar to catalina.2009-10-19.log and see the Error Log and if there is any line like
"java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind<null>:8080" then you have to change you port.

if you cann't at all understand the log then please post (copy paste file this forum) it here

As you can clearly see your log file its written that java.lang.Exception: Socket bind failed: [730048] Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.

if i would be you facing this very problem

i would uninstall tomcat and install it on another port say 7788. or if i know about server.xml file then i would have changed the current port no 7788

look buddy this the best possible guess i can make by reading catelina log file..

if it still doesn't solves your problem then either wait for someone with great knowledge of tomcat
or go to Apache Tomcat site.
still better is to google this expression "java.lang.Exception: Socket bind failed: [730048] Only one usage of each socket address Protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted"

by last two means you will surely learn a lot about tomcat......

I too face the same problem . i don't fine start.bat and stop.bat file in bin folder of tomcat 6.0.20
after searching a lot i find a link.

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Supported%20Manager%20Commands


Start an stop are now managed by manager follow the introduction in link all of you will get your answer

There is manager.xml copy paste the below code


<Context path="/manager" docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/manager"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false">

now write
http://localhost/manager/html to web address it will ask for user name and password
that is USER NAME : admin
Password :
this i get from
tomcat-users.xml in conf folder

here you now see all your application you can start and stop any of them

Hi,

Have no clue what is wrong with starting my tomcat server 5.5.31. Had a tomcat version 5.5.26 working all fine. No idea what network setting has changed and it fails to start complaining

SEVERE: Error initializing endpoint
java.lang.Exception: Socket listen failed: [730022] An invalid argument was supp
lied.


Down the stack trace continues as ...

SEVERE: Error starting endpoint
java.lang.Exception: Socket bind failed: [730048] Only one usage of each socket
address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.


Machine settings and environment :

OS - Windows XP 32-bit
Environment Variables - Tried with CATALINA_HOME set to tomcat installation directory and tried without setting CATALINA_HOME

Did following :
1. Tried changing the port number to 8090, 8010... but to no avail.
2. Downloaded 5.5.31 and still complains the same.


Awaiting help ASAP !!!

That exception would indicate that Something on your system is already using the ports Tomcat is trying to use.

Note that Tomcat needs to listen at two ports, one for control and one for http connections.

Search your server.xml for other port= attributes.

this happened to me and it was because i had started my tomcat server to test it standalone and then i received this error when i tried to launch a page in eclipse. possibly something you had launched it in the background and now when you try to relaunch it this error happens?

Look guys this post reminds me the days when I first started working with Tomcat server and could not start the server manually. But goodness gracious I configured the Tomcat 5.5 server with Eclipse and it was easy starting and shutting down the server form eclipse.

But then I downloaded Tomcat 6 server and installed it on my Win XP computer by using the .exe file available at the tomcat.apache.org site (32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer (pgp, md5)).
While installing I set the port number 1616 rather than the default 8080 as I was using 8080 for another server. That's it... there was no problem running the tomcat server from there on.
In the build folder of the tomcat look for the "commons daemon service manager" icon named tomcat6w. Double click on it ... you will get Apache Tomcat 6 properties window where you will see the Service status if it is stopped the click on the start button. Voila... your Tomcat 6 server starts running. If the status is 'started' stop it and start it again.

The same holds good for Tomcat 5.5 server as well.

Try once I am sure it will help.
 
Just let me do the talking. Ahem ... so ... you see ... we have this tiny ad...
