The setup is:

  • Amazon EC2
  • Tomcat (with secure forwarding to 8443)
  • Apache 2.2

I run the shutdown.sh, and I get no errors.

BUT when I try to runt the startup.sh I get this error:

I also had the same issue. Tried all the options suggested in this thread. But didnt help. Then just did ran:

ps -awwef | grep tomcat

and found some stale process running. I killed it using (-15 instead of -9)

sudo kill -15 <tomcat pid from previous command>

And woot! it worked. Restarted tomcat without any issue.
