Tomcat: SEVERE: Error listenerStart

Up to Table of Contents

This FAQ applies to: 5.1, 5.2

Tomcat fails to start a GRIA web application. The catalina log file only says: Tomcat: SEVERE: Error listenerStart

This problem was seen on a fresh Ubuntu 7.10 system, using the distribution-provided tomcat5.5 package. It is caused by the tomcat security manager.

To fix this,edit the /etc/default/tomcat5.5 file, uncomment the TOMCAT5_SECURITY line and set it to "no".

Then, restart tomcat.
