Using the HTML Manager, Tomcat 4.1.27 on SuSE Linux (I haven't tested this on any other OS's). When Tomcat first starts up, all the webapps (including /examples, which I've been testing with) start up fine. When I click 'reload' to reload the /examples webapp, the manager claims it is not running (false). When I hit 'Start' I get: FAIL - Application at context path /examples could not be started FAIL - Encountered exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: standardHost.start /examples: LifecycleException: Container StandardContext[/examples] has already been started Which is quite obviously not true, since when I try to access /examples I get HTTP Status 503 - This application is not currently available The only way to bring /examples back is to shutdown.sh then startup.sh. I'm posting this under the manager, although I'm not sure whether the problem lies there or not; I tried moving the manager webapp from 4.1.24 (tomcat_home/server/webapps/manager) into 4.1.27 and had the same problem. Using Sun JDK 1.4.1_03. I've tried this on 3 systems (different versions of SuSE) and all three show the same problem. This problem doesn't exist in Tomcat 4.1.24.
