Starting tomcat7 port on 8.1-RELEASE-p1

[Matthew Pounsett]

I'm trying to get Tomcat 7 up and running for one of our developers, and seem to have run into an odd roadblock.

I've installed everything using the ports, including the half-dozen distfiles that need to be manually downloaded to satisfy dependencies.  That went fine, but tomcat won't start.  I'm getting an empty file "localhost_access_log.2011-10-04.txt" in /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0/logs/, as well as the file 'catalina.out' which I'm pasting in at the bottom of this email.

catalina.out seems to be suggesting that tomcat won't start because it can't bind to localhost:8005, but I can't find a reason for this.  I've done some googling and seen some similar examples of this problem from earlier versions of Tomcat, on earlier versions of FreeBSD, but nothing recent... the only fix that has come up that looks like it could be relevant is forcing tomcat to use IPv4 by adding this to rc.conf

tomcat55_java_opts="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"

I've tried this and it doesn't solve my problem.

The tomcat port doesn't seem to install any port-specific Getting Started docs anywhere, and the Apache-Tomcat getting started documentation doesn't seem to cover anything more than what the port install is supposed to take care of.  Am I just missing some setup instructions somewhere?

Any pointers appreciated.
