The log is like this in the lines that cause the problem: Feb 18, 2008 10:26:57 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine start INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/5.5.25 Feb 18, 2008 10:26:57 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost start INFO: XML validation disabled log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.sax). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
The delay are between the line "INFO: XML validation disabled" and the next one "log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger" And then the application starts correctly (Enhydra application) and in about 2 seconds 2008-02-18 22:39:32,036: (first log message from the application) . . . Feb 18, 2008 10:39:33 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 756278 ms (last log message) Also I have no iptables.

Please help me to know why? After the 15 minute delay, what log messages are in the log file? I'm wondering if the delay is related to repeated failed DNS lookups or even a firewall issue when trying to grab a DTD or XML Schema. Do you have iptables blocking anything in particular? Are you getting anything in your kernel log related to dropped packets? Finally, does the application start up correctly (eventually)? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAke54D8ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDfUwCgjYJKTQz9n4goNxo4WfrlRcHv 3jMAnjdobEvsNNKEiTINW53G8tCXYqyK =gCg0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________ NOD32 2883 (20080218) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
