Tomcat does not start

Follow these steps to determine why Tomcat does not start.
  1. Verify that Tomcat is NOT already running by typing
    sm_service show
    .
    Tomcat may be running from a prior install, or was started outside of the
    sm_service
    mechanism. Also, another instance of Tomcat or another web server may be running on the system that prevents this Tomcat instance from binding to port 8080, causing it to shut down.
  2. Verify the underlying application is not already running Tomcat by typing
    ps -ef | grep java.
    If you see that the
    /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar
    process is running, then Tomcat is likely running as well.
  3. Review the messages in
    SAM/smarts/local/logs/tomcat/catalina.out
    and
    SAM/smarts/local/logs/tomcat/catalina.<
