org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost]]

The project was smoothly running suddenly I got this error in console log. I am using Tomcat version 8.0.35. I have tried everything from clean build to updating the project. I know there are already problems that are solved but none of the solutions worked for me.

Please advice me what to do? Also I have searched everywhere in the pom file and other dependencies are also been generated.

Somewhere in your project there is a corrupted library (jar), at least that's how it was with me. I deleted my local .m2/repository folder and downloaded all dependencies again. If you know exactly which jar is the problem then delete only that one from your local repository. Then build your project again and if dependencies are downloaded correctly your tomcat should be able to run again.
Also just to be sure nothing is cached, delete everything that is inside the /tomcat8/work/Catalina/localhost path. It's the working directory of tomcat and files that tomcat needs during run time are written there. I don't think it's affected, but it doesn't hurt either.

One or two projects which you are adding to the tomcat may be corrupted. In order to fix it all you need to do is.
deleted the project from eclipse
go the project folder of your's and deleted .settings and .classpath file from the project.
Re-import the project in eclipse and then build
This will definitely solve your problem

I had this issue on Eclipse
Right click on project, select Maven --> Update Project -->
Check Update project configurations, refresh workspace resources, clean projects and also "Forced Update of Snapshots/Releases". The last bit was also important for tomcat to work.

org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[]] - tomcat 8.5

I am trying to get my tomcat 8.5 to start on my eclipse.
Everytime I get this error.
I already tried the below fixes but nothing seems to work:
Added log4j.jar to my classpath
cleaned Tomcat Directory
My JDK is 1.8
My JRE is 1.8
Any idea what else to try?

I found my issue.
My lib folder was outside the WebContent folder...
I copied it inside WebContent/WEB-INF and everything is working now

Server Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost was unable to start within 90 seconds

I am facing issue with tomcat I am not sure about the problem, I have spent almost a day and tried everything but issue is still there.
In the console section INFO : org.eclipse.jetty.util.log - Logging initialized #1399ms line is looks strange to me.

INFO: Server startup in 2982 ms

I faced the same issue several times. I'm using eclipse with fedora 20. In my case, I found that it happens in two occasions.
1.trying to Start Server in Debug mode with too many break points
2.After a several number of restarts.
In first case i removed the all breakpoints and cleaned the server and working directory and then issued command to stop it manually and then restarted the server.
In the second case i did like this, removed the server from eclipse, restarted it, and added the server.
The above solved my issue.

Right click on the server and select "Clean", and then "Publish", if there is something wrong with the server the error will be more especific when you use these options.
In my case it was on the server.xml. First check the server.xml file and go to the the context tag, your project path should be correct, if not correct that.

You can find out that library is taking time while starting Tomcat.
Start the tomcat server in debug mode and see what the stacktraces show.
It might be a library which is populating spring application context, initializing the file storage, etc.
Check the stacktraces and I hope you can find the problem there.
Alternatively, just remove all the webapps and check if tomcat now starts on time.

Try to kill all processes that could be locking the war file and restart your Tomcat.

The error say The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. So it looks like you have another instance of Tomcat running. Kill all processes which may access the f

tomcat is probably trying to unpack your war file while it's still being transferred. stop the server while you're uploading the file to avoid it doing this. when you're done with the ftp, then restart the tomcat server and hopefully it'll all be ok.

Please anyone help me to find out what is problem ?

In case you are using Jersey 2, you can download Jersey JAX-RS 2.0 RI bundle from their site and add JARs from ALL subfolders (api, ext and lib) to the WEB-INF/lib folder of your project.In my case, adding guava-14.0.1.jar fixed that particular ClassNotFoundException, but started failing on another unresolved reference, so I just dropped everything in my lib folder and managed to start the server without any problems.

Well this is the root cause:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.common.base.Function
... so it looks like you're probably missing a dependency jar file (Guava, by the looks of it) from the classpath of the relevant classloader. If you're following a "hello world" tutorial, double check any steps which specify where to put jar files.

It looks like you may missing some dependency Jar file in your project or in your container.
Jar file may be one of the below.
google-collections-***.jar
google-collect-snapshot-***.jar
google-collections-1.0-***.jar

Simply copy and save your project to other location and delete from the eclipse. later delete the Tomcat from eclipse and make sure all the entries of your project gets removed from the Tomcat directory(server.xml file) and from your deploy path: wtpwebapps (in mine case).
Once done with clean up and integrate Tomcat with eclipse again, and start the Tomcat.
Bingo!!! it works.
