Tomcat won't start on OS X [RESOLVED]

Submitted by olivier.macchioni on Wed, 12/14/2016 - 16:13

Hello,

I'm running OS X 10.11.6 and evaluating Bonita version 7.3.3 - I've had issues to start Tomcat.

The problem what that my hostname (as retrieved by the bash command hostname) didn't resolve to 127.0.0.1.

The fix was to modify /etc/hosts and add the hostname in the "127.0.0.1" line:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Maybe this will help someone ?

Thanks for that, sometimes also useful for Windows too. :)
