The problem:

The Tomcat7 startup page keeps loading after restarting its service using either /etc/init.d/tomcat7 restart or service tomcat7 restart. I only tested using Ubuntu 14.04.2.

How I encountered the problem (and maybe how it could be reproduced):

  1. apt-get install tomcat7
  2. (check the default page using your browser, it should work)
  3. service tomcat7 restart
  4. Check default page and see that it keeps loading

The question:

Am I making a mistake? How can this problem be solved and why is it happening?

  • I suggest you also take look > /var/log/tomcat7/localhost_access_log > /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out you can > tail -f /var/log/tomcat7/localhost_access_log and reload the page to see if there is new entry

  • I do not have a localhost_access_log file. in the catalina.out file, there are a few errors but they are from when I was changing a few things (after posting the question).

It turns out that the problem is occurring very often for my hosting service, DigitalOcean.

Because I didn't look for a DigitalOcean-related problem, I didn't see that the problem has been resolved on Stack Overflow.

From linked post:

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"

Adding the line above in /etc/default/tomcat7 and restarting the service resolved the problem.
