I am having problems starting tomcat for some strange reason, it used to start before without a problem. The error is so long that I can't copy it completely from the command prompt. Anyone know what could be going wrong?

INFO: Server startup in 801 ms
Most common issue with Tomcat note starting is that Java is not configured properly, user trying to start Tomcat does not have permissions to do so, or another program is using port 8080 on that server.
"Catalina" is the script that is actually responsible for starting Tomcat; the "startup" script simply runs "catalina" with the argument "start" ("catalina" also can be used with the "stop" parameter to shut down Tomcat).
Use a browser to check whether Tomcat is running on URL http://localhost:8080 , where 8080 is the Tomcat port specified in conf/server. xml. If Tomcat is running properly and you specified the correct port, the browser displays the Tomcat homepage.
Error Message: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getSessionCookieConfig()
Ljavax/servlet/SessionCookieConfig;
Symptoms: Tomcat cannot start
Probable Causes: This is a new method in Servlets 3.0
(which Tomcat 7
supports).
There is a Servlets 2.x API
is your CLASSPATH
or JDK's
extension directory.
Solution: Check your CLASSPATH
. Remove servlet-api.jar
from JDK's
extension directory if any.
