Error when I try deploy application to tomcat7 server

Question

I am trying deploy a web application to tomcat7 via eclipse luna, but I am getting this error:

Uploading: http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?path=%2Fl         


        

Answer 1

In my case on my AWS amazon instance the reason was:

The Disk Space Was FULL note 99% on my EC2 spot instance

Am using jenkins using this command normally

 mvn clean tomcat7:redeploy -Ddeploy.password=xxxAG1
 -Ddeploy.username=admin -Ddeploy.context=/v1 -Ddeploy.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/text

Just Free that space and it worked with me.

The Error i had is

[INFO] I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Connection reset
[INFO] Retrying request

Hint use this command to track down what is eating your space from ( command is from stackoverflow ) sudo du -x -d1 -h /

Ok, I had the same issue with tomcat7.

[INFO] I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Connection reset
[INFO] Retrying request
Uploading: http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?path=%2iplover

[INFO] I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Connection reset
[INFO] Retrying request
Uploading: http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?path=%2iplover

[INFO] I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request:         Connection reset
[INFO] Retrying request
Uploading: http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?path=%2iplover

I could not get it to work with

mvn tomcat7:redeploy 

as mentioned here.

My WAR wasn't very large, just 4MB.

Here was the root problem and solution

It is important that your tomcat-users.xml has the correct roles setup. I ONLY had the role manager setup. Adding manager-script seems important and completely solved my problem.

<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager,manager-gui,manager-script"/>

Answer 3

I don't know if anybody solved this issue. I have found a workaround in my case: use of redeploy instead of deploy works fine.

The issue may perhaps be related to memory issue or read/write access isn't it ?

Answer 4

Check ~/.m2/settings.xml

<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>tomcat-manager</id>
      <username>user001</username>
      <password>123</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

Answer 5

(Re-)deploy with the Maven tomcat plugin failed for me too with a connection reset on the client and 403 status code in the localhost_access.log on Tomcat 8.5.30.

This Tomcat version's manager app has a RemoteAddrValve configured by default, restricting access to the /manager/* path to localhost. See $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml.

It helped to turn on the logging to find the solution to this.

Answer 6

I was having the same issue and solved it by running the maven goal

tomcat7:redeploy

instead of

tomcat7:deploy

It worked for both tomcat7 and tomcat8, and my war file was always below 50mb.
