Bug#521050: tomcat6: Fails to start on PowerPC

[Jason M. Hanna]

Package: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.18-3
Severity: important


Hi All,

Running into trouble when starting Tomcat 6 using OpenJDK on my Sequoia/AMCC 440EPx running Lenny and a 2.6.28 kernel.

/var/log/syslog reports:
Mar 24 09:54:56 sequoia jsvc.exec[2397]: user changed to 'tomcat6'#012Cannot find any VM in Java Home /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk#012Cannot locate JVM library file#012java_init failed

I added a -debug flag to /etc/init.d/tomcat6 and attempted to start again. This time jsvc reported the following:

 failed!

This first thing that struck me is that my OpenJDK install has its library files in JAVA_HOME/lib/ppc - not JAVA_HOME/lib/powerpc.

If I copy my ppc directory into a new powerpc directory, Tomcat starts properly!

Not sure if this should be filed against tomcat6 or jsvc, but the maintainers appear to to be the same so I'll leave it to you guys.

Thanks and let me know if I can provide any more information.
