Tomcat / Railo stop responding with no error output
- by andrewdixon
This is going to sound very vague and I'm sure it will be voted down for not giving enough information however I don't really have any to give as you will see.
We have an AWS instance running Amazon Linux, Apache, Tomcat and Railo and from time to time the Tomcat/Railo simply stops responding to requests and there are no errors output in the catalina.out file or any of the other log files in the Tomcat logs directory.
When I issue the command to restart Tomcat/Railo the restart scripts sits there for a while then says that Tomcat has not responded so it has killed it off and then it starts up again and everything is fine until it happens again, anything from a couple of minutes to a couple of days later. I have done my best to check other logs on the server but have found no messages at all to indicate why Tomcat/Railo has given up and stopped responding.
Can anyone suggest any reason why it might be doing this and / or any other log file(s) that we could check to see what is happening.
Thanks.
Andrew.
