Spurious Tomcat Startup Errors

When starting the portal server for the first time, you will notice several errors (see below for a sample) if you are using our startup-tomcat.sh script. These are the standard errors produced by Tomcat's shutdown.sh if no server is running and can be ignored.

Our startup-tomcat.sh script first calls Tomcat's shutdown.sh before calling startup.sh. We do this to prevent accidentally starting two servers that try to use the same ports. This can be a little tricky to clean up (Tomcat's shutdown.sh may not work and you may have to use the kill command).

-bash-3.00$ ./startup-tomcat.sh
