Dear all,
I just finished installing and configuring CAS 5.3 on CentOS 7 using David's notes  https://dacurry-tns.github.io/deploying-apereo-cas/introduction_overview.html.

Before CAS installation, I was able to access Tomcat at https://<my-server>:8443. But after CAS installation, I can't access CAS at https://<my-server>:8443/cas/login and can no longer access the Tomcat page.
I checked catalina.log and everything seems ok. And I noticed cas.log was not created in /var/log/cas as configured in etc/cas/config/log4j2.xml. No log file exists in /var/log/cas.
Please what could be the issue.

Below is the output of catalina.log

Possible solutions.

1. Kill the process running on 8443 and start cas.

or

2. Change the port of cas in properties file and try restarting.

or

3. Build, Package cas.war file and manually deploy in tomcat and restart.

Also check if log folder has appropriated permission to create / write log file.

Thanks
Ramakrishna G

Hi Ramakrishna,

Thanks for you recommendation. I configured CAS to run on the standard https port (443) and Tomcat to run on port 8443.
I have tried option (1) and this is the process running on port 8443.
tcp6       0      0 :::8443                 :::*                    LISTEN      6869/jsvc.exec

Each time I kill the process and restart Tomcat, the process still shows up. It is the Apache Commons Daemon we installed as part of the Tomcat setup steps.
Can the jsvc.execconflict with Tomcat?

Also I ran systemctl status tomcat and noticed that Tomcat is Active (running) and the following messages:
Jan 02 15:07:08 ip-172-31 systemd[1]: Starting Apache Tomcat Web Application Container...
Jan 02 15:07:08 ip-172-31 systemd[1]: tomcat.service: Supervising process 4039 which is not our child. We'll most likely not... exits.
Jan 02 15:07:08 ip-172-31 systemd[1]: Started Apache Tomcat Web Application Container.

Does the second line of this message (" Supervising process 4039 which is not our child. We'll most likely not... exits. ") indicate that something is not right?

Please I still cannot figure out why log files are not being created in  the /var/log/cas folder
 
ls -l /var/log/:
drwxr-x---. 2 tomcat tomcat       6 Dec 28 14:14 cas
.
.
.
drwxr-x---. 2 tomcat tomcat    4096 Jan  2 09:07 tomcat

ls -l /var/log/cas/
total 0

Any help in this regard?

Thanks

Emmanuel,

Are you running two servers; CAS and tomcat? Or did you deploy CAS to tomcat?
You could edit tomcat's server.xml and change port 8443 to something else.

Thanks Ray. I am running one server and I deployed CAS to Tomcat.
I have changed the Tomcat port to 8447 and restarted.
Here are some outputs:

Emmanuel,

The last log line is deploying 'webapps/cas'. I deploy the war file, 'webapps/cas.war'. This should not make a difference but maybe.
Are you creating a war file? Is it in webapps directory? Or are you creating a link from webapps/cas to some other directory where there is an exploded war?
If it is the latter, is it possible that tomcat does not have permissions to read.

The log just stops where CAS should be outputting messages and it looks like tomcat just hangs (or waits indefinately).

Just to add. I have a similar setup(centos) and running cas server version 5.3.0

I always package war file and deploy to tomcat webapps directory and start tomcat manually. And my cas.properties file looks like 

logging.config: file:/etc/cas/config/log4j2.xml
cas.authn.accept.users=
cas.serviceRegistry.initFromJson=false
cas.serviceRegistry.json.location: file:/etc/cas/services
LogLevel debug
CASDebug On

All the folder /etc/cas/config & /etc/cas/log(In my case, I used default folder structure of cas) has user:tomcat with read & write permission.

As Ray says tomcat could be hanging to start the cas. Are you running tomcat as root user? If yes then change user of you log folder to root:tomcat and then check if tomcat is able to create log files.

Thanks
Ramakrishna G
