Hi Folks, Apparently this is quite a common problem. It's important for me to solve though. I'd appreciate any advice I can get. Please note that I'm not a Java expert. Just getting Liferay working was a miracle achievement. I'm also not a Linux guru, but manage to get my way around with both, eventually.
I'm using Tomcat, standalone, without the APR's on MAC OS X 10.4 using JRE 5.0 update 6. I'm using Liferay 4.0.0 too. 1. I start Tomcat with no problems. I do to the home directory and specify $ ./startup.sh 2. Everything works fine. cataline.out is very positive. 3. If I type $ netstat -a, I get tcp4 0 0 localhost.8005 *.* LISTEN tcp46 0 0 *.8009 *.* LISTEN tcp46 0 0 *.http-alt *.* LISTEN Somehow, that feels right, although I don't really know what it means. 4. Then I say ./shutdown.sh 5. Everything "seems" fine according to the command prompt, but just wait till you see what catalina.out has to say about it! 6. Catalina.out says: 14:08:28,983 INFO [org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol] Pausing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 14:09:43,603 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector] Protocol handler pause failed java.net.ConnectException: Operation timed out ... ... ... 14:09:47,861 INFO [org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol] Stopping Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 Failed to shut down: java.lang.NullPointerException java.lang.NullPointerException at org.activemq.broker.BrokerContext.deregisterContainer( BrokerContext.java:70) Can anyone please offer me sone advice?
