Here's a workaround: Edit the tomcat startup script (/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5).
At the very end of the start) block there is an else statement. Insert the following line immediately before the first else: tail /var/log/tomcat5.5/catalina.out > /dev/null & Save and close the file. Restart Tomcat5.5 Now the file will be tailed by the startup script and Tomcat should work fine. If it doesn't, you can try replacing the "tail" with "cat". -- tomcat5.5 won't start b/c of catalina.out named pipe https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
