    • Type: Bug
    • Status: Closed (View Workflow)
    • Priority: Major
    • Resolution: Done
    • Affects Version/s: EWS 1.0.1
    • Fix Version/s: EWS 2.0.0
    • Labels:
      None
    • Environment:

      RHEL 5, probably other RHEL versions

    • Steps to Reproduce:
      Hide

      1) Edit /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf and add:
      JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n"
      2) run "service tomcat6 start"
      3) Look at /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out, and see that it has failed to start because the debug options have been specified twice

      This can be seen more clearly by editing /usr/sbin/tomcat6 to print out the command it is about to execute.

      Remove the following lines from /usr/sbin/tomcat6

      # Get the tomcat config (use this for environment specific settings)
      		 
      if [ -z "${TOMCAT_CFG}" ]; then
      		 
        TOMCAT_CFG="/etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf"

      if [ -r "$TOMCAT_CFG" ]; then

      Description

      JVM options can be added to JAVA_OPTS in /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6 or /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf (the former per service the latter global). When JAVA_OPTS are added to /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf, they get appended to the command line twice, which can cause problems if specifying the option twice does not have the same effect as specifying it once.
