tomcat6 is not included in Centos, then i assume you take source file from apache tomcat website. If this is the case, when you stop tomcat, then you have to kill the process. try a "ps -ef | grep j" and you will probably see that java is still running. if you are succesful in killing the process, then try to start tomcat. -- mr --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
