Error when I try deploy application to tomcat7 ser

Question

I am trying deploy a web application to tomcat7 via eclipse luna, but I am getting this error:

Uploading: http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?path=%2Floja

I also try deploy to tomcat8, but I get this same error.

In my pom.xml, I have this configuration related to this operation:

  <build>
    <finalName>loja</finalName>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
           <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>

            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Anyone knows what's happening here?

UPDATE

I try deploy the application with the command mvn:tomcat7 deploy -X and the output was that:

Answer 1

(Re-)deploy with the Maven tomcat plugin failed for me too with a connection reset on the client and 403 status code in the localhost_access.log on Tomcat 8.5.30.

This Tomcat version's manager app has a RemoteAddrValve configured by default, restricting access to the /manager/* path to localhost. See $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml.

It helped to turn on the logging to find the solution to this.

Answer 2

I don't know if anybody solved this issue. I have found a workaround in my case: use of redeploy instead of deploy works fine.

The issue may perhaps be related to memory issue or read/write access isn't it ?

Answer 3

What's the size of your war? maybe it is because the size too large. By default, tomcat manager only allow less then 50MB size war. also try mvn tomcat7:redeploy instead of deploy.

See here how to increase the war size limit

Answer 4

In my case on my AWS amazon instance the reason was:

The Disk Space Was FULL note 99% on my EC2 spot instance

Am using jenkins using this command normally

 mvn clean tomcat7:redeploy -Ddeploy.password=xxxAG1
 -Ddeploy.username=admin -Ddeploy.context=/v1 -Ddeploy.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text

Just Free that space and it worked with me.

The Error i had is

[INFO] I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Connection reset
[INFO] Retrying request

Hint use this command to track down what is eating your space from ( command is from stackoverflow ) sudo du -x -d1 -h /

Answer 5

Try increase max-file-size and max-request-size within the tomcat web.xml

To fix, edit .../webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml. Ensure the file sizes are larger than the war file your trying to upload. I.e,

  <max-file-size>82914560</max-file-size>
  <max-request-size>82914560</max-request-size>

Then restart apache tomcat.

Answer 6

I've had the same issue and in my case the problem was a cunfigured context path not starting with /. Fixing the context path "myapp" to "/myapp" solved the problem.
