Hi,
Tomcat was running well and suddenly stop of working.
I am using tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 on Centos 5.2
/etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf looks like as follows: JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java" CATALINA_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat5" JASPER_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat5" CATALINA_TMPDIR="/usr/share/tomcat5/temp" JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS="/usr/share/tomcat5/common/endorsed" JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcatalina.ext.dirs=$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib:$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib" TOMCAT_USER="tomcat" SHUTDOWN_WAIT=30 CATALINA_PID=/var/run/tomcat5.pid
And var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out has:
