I am on a Mac version 10.8.4 using tomcat 6.0.37 and Oracle JDK7. Recently upgraded from JDK6 to JDK 7. When I try to start tomcat the exceptions below are thrown at the very end.
I searched all over the internet for solutions to this, but nothing seems to work. I tried adding these parameters to the start-up script like some suggested and that did not work either. -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=false One thing to note, it does not fail every time....about 60% of the time it fails to start correctly. Any pointers would be appreciated very much. There is a thread about this on Stack Exchange with some information, but no answer :) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18883209/tomcat-startup-java-net-socketexception-invalid-argument-mac-os-x SEVERE: StandardServer.await: accept: java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.accept(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:398) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:530) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:498) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.await(StandardServer.java:431) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.await(Catalina.java:676) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:628) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:289) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:414) Sep 18, 2013 11:03:31 AM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol pause INFO: Pausing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 Sep 18, 2013 11:04:48 AM org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector pause SEVERE: Protocol handler pause failed java.net.ConnectException: Operation timed out at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.doConnect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:339) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:200) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:182) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:392) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:579) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:528) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:425) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:241) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.unLockSocket(ChannelSocket.java:492) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.pause(ChannelSocket.java:288) at org.apache.jk.server.JkMain.pause(JkMain.java:739) at org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler.pause(JkCoyoteHandler.java:153) at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.pause(Connector.java:1138) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.stop(StandardService.java:578) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.stop(StandardServer.java:788) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.stop(Catalina.java:662) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:629) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:289) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:414) Sep 18, 2013 11:04:49 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService stop INFO: Stopping service Catalina 09/18 11:04:49 Information [main] - Stopping Event Gateways. 09/18 11:04:54 Information [main] - ColdFusion stopped Thanks Kalyan
