I started tomcat 7 using,
cd /opt/tomcat7/bin
$/opt/tomcat7/bin ./startup.sh
It shows process running
root 23206 130 3.4 1323956 572880 pts/2 Sl 07:58 1:05 /usr/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/opt/tomcat7/conf/logging.properties -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Dspring.profiles.active=mongo1,maxListenersAllowed -DST_SERVER=mongo1 -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/tomcat7/endorsed -classpath /opt/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar -Dcatalina.base=/opt/tomcat7 -Dcatalina.home=/opt/tomcat7 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/tomcat7/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
If I shutdown it using
$/opt/tomcat7/bin ./shutdown.sh
It gives this message
Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat7
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat7
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat7/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr
Using CLASSPATH: /opt/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
but if I check the above process, it still shows it running. Tomcat doesn't shut down. I tried it using root user as well but still no success.
Manully I can kill the process but I want to create deploy script so want to do it using shutdown.sh and startup.sh
Same happens if I try using
/opt/tomcat7/bin/catalina.sh start
/opt/tomcat7/bin/catalina.sh stop

You can force the shutdown by PID.
Edit
..tomcat/bin/catalina.sh
and set the
CATALINA_PID=path
variable to a local path.
CATALINA_PID
(Optional) Path of the file which should contains the pid of the
catalina startup java process, when start (fork) is used
then you can shutdown Tomcat with -force flag
../tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh -force
If the script can not stop Tomcat normally will use a kill to stop the process by PID.
Update:
According to Joshua Taylor comment, the recommended way to store additional variables for running tomcat is the setenv.* script.
Take a look at (3.4) Using the "setenv" script (optional, recommended) section in the tomcat running docs
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/RUNNING.txt
If you are in windows, and using the portable tomcat, you can use the nircmd program tool, and close by title console window, instead of stopping by PID.
When you have downloaded this tool, just do:
nircmd.exe win close title "Tomcat"
I once had the misfortune of a page running infinite redirect loops due to a faulty authentication mechanism.
It eventually slowed down the entire server, but also made it impossible for me to shut it down gracefully. In the end I had to employ brute force like vzamanillo describes.
The point being that something fishy might be running within your server's processes that won't finish properly.
Is you shutdown port set? (in /etc/tomcat9/conf/server.xml )
<Server port="9005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

I was trying to learn how to use servlet by following the tutorial in this page:
https://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/howto/Tomcat_HowTo.html
When I reached 2.6 STEP 5: Develop and Deploy a WebApp, I was told to restart tomcat so that it'll load the directory I just made. However, the changes I made was not loaded, the assigned port is still 8080 even though I assigned it to 9999 and the hello directory was not found. Here are the messages when I issued startup.bat:

As you can see, the hello directory was not deployed. So, what is exactly happening here?
I just realized that when I issued the startup & shutdown command that there was an information in the console which looked like this:
Using CLASSPATH: "G:\Learning\tomcat9\bin\bootstrap.jar;G:\Learning\tomcat9\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"
It seemed that my classpath was pointing to the wrong path. I deleted CATALINA_HOME in the environment variable settings, and now it is working fine.
getting below error when deploying war to openshift using git command..i was able to deploy correctly earlier but not sure what happened and now not able to deploy and getting this error..in local i am able to run the same wat correctly.

Looks like an exception is being thrown from your application. Is this the catalina.out log? How are you deploying the application (via IDE or?).

Here's the most important line of your overzealously long (and repeated) log:
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
This basically means that a ServletContextListener implementation which is registered by either a #WebListener annotation on the class or a <listener> entry in web.xml has thrown an unhandled exception inside the contextInitialized() method. This is usually caused by a developer's mistake (a bug) and needs to be fixed. For example, a NullPointerException.
If you can't figure the cause by just staring at or unit-testing the code inside contextInitialized() method, then you'd need to create a logging.properties file in project's src folder (there where you have your Java classes; it should at least ultimately end up in /WEB-INF/classes folder of the built WAR) with the following contents:
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].level = INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
This will tell Tomcat to log exceptions during starting of listeners (and filters) to the console.
Based on the color of my Eclipse console, it seems as though it's outputting standard console messages to the Standard Error buffer. Why does it do this? And, more importantly, is there a way to change this so that it works properly to make debugging simpler?

I'm a java application developer, and don't know much about linux configuration.
I'm trying to install Java and Tomcat to a fresh Redhat instance on Amazon EC2, and executed the below script.
mkdir /usr/local/java
cd /usr/local/java
curl http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u2-b13/jdk-7u2-linux-i586.rpm > jdk.rpm
rpm -iv jdk.rpm
updatedb; locate javac | grep bin # this step merely serves to verify the installation
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02/bin/java 100
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02/bin/jar 100
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02/bin/javac 100
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
updatedb
mkdir /env
mkdir /env/tomcat
cd /env/tomcat
curl http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apache/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.23/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.23.tar.gz > apache-tomcat-7.0.23.tar.gz
tar zxvf apache-tomcat-7.0.23.tar.gz
cd apache-tomcat-7.0.23
bin/startup.sh #
At this point, http://ec2-23-20-24-96.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080/ was expected to return Tomcat homepage, but it didn't :(
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d/
vi tomcat
I pasted the below content to the file:
#!/bin/sh
# Tomcat init script for Linux.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 96 14
# description: The Apache Tomcat servlet/JSP container.
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02
CATALINA_HOME=/env/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.23
export JAVA_HOME CATALINA_HOME
exec $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh $*
Then executed:
chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat
chkconfig --level 2345 tomcat on
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02
export CATALINA_HOME=/env/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.23
/env/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/bin/shutdown.sh
/env/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/bin/startup.sh
Nowhere did I get any error, but I also couldn't get the Tomcat homepage to display.
Can you guide where where I went wrong.
Thanks
James

EDIT2:
My problem looks similar to the one on https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=59937, but that provides no solution.
I performed a wget, and I received a proper index.html with Tomcat homepage html.
wget http://ec2-23-20-24-96.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080
I have two security groups - default and quick-start-1, and I've added ports 80 and 8080 to the list.
Solved it with help from AWS Support:
Hello
It initially looks like iptables is running on your instance, my checks show filtered ports, you will need to add a rule to allow port 8080, or disable the firewall on the instance itself.
You can verify this by running as root "service iptables stop" and then see if you can connect on port 8080.
Kind Regards
