Answer 1

I just answered this question under another question.

I solved it today,it maybe a bug with jdk-1.8.x.

For example,my jdk path is "/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_144".

cd /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_144/jre/lib/security/

find the file which named "java.security",

vi java.security

find "securerandom.source=file:/dev/random".

Modify "securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom ".

Then,go to the Tomcat/bin directory, execute ./start.sh and ./shutdown.sh,find that everything is all right.

Answer 2

Please make sure that the server port not changed after the server started!

Changing the sever port of a running server could make it unable to shutdown with error message like the following:

06-Feb-2018 10:17:10.682 SEVERE [main] org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.stopServer Could not contact [localhost:[8005]]. Tomcat may not be running. 06-Feb-2018 10:17:10.693 SEVERE [main] org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.stopServer Catalina.stop: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
