Apache Tomcat Server shutdown yet webapplication is still running - apache

I am using Apache Tomcat 6.0.18, I am running on Windows XP
I have a web application which I place it's war file under webapps folder. The web application runs fine, its just when I run the shutdown.bat the application still runs (as in I refresh the page and it doesn't come up not found).
I check the localhost:/8080 and webpage cannot be found comes up
but when I run localhost:/8080/myapp my application comes up.
I have tried this in both IE and Firefox
Thank you for any help.

I had this similar problem, This can only happen if Apache Tomcat is not configured properly. Best way is to check build path and look for exact directory of Apache.
Example
i.e C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-tomcat-7.0.27
Also look for windows service for start, restart or stop
Run - services.msc
You may want to check this link
i.e

Verify that tomcat is actually down (simplest way is via task manager)
The issue sounds like a caching issue. Try deleting your cache.

ColdFusion 2016 stopped rendering website after Mac software update

ColdFusion 2016 stopped rendering website files in browser after I updated my Mac software to latest one, Mojave 10.14.1. Instead of seeing the rendered page in the browser I can see my repository files only.
I noticed that some previous settings regarding local server and Apache were removed after update. I did restore missing settings back how they were before and even reinstalled ColdFusion 2016, but still have that problem with rendering websites on the ColdFusion platform.
After running /Applications/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/runtime/bin and sudo ./wsconfig, I the get Web Server Configuration Window with content inside
[ localhost ] Apache : /private/etc/apache2.
Is there anyone who can help to resolve this issue please?
Change the directory to
/Application/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/runtime/bin
Run
sudo ./wsconfig
The documentation does not mention sudo, but I am suggesting it to be safe.

After testing ColdFusion 2016 platform using port :8500 I found out that CF server uses Tomcat path (wrong path) instead of Apache one (for Mac virtual directory file: httpd-vhost.conf) and both of them are running at the same time.

How to run Php Pages in Netbeans

I have just successfully deployed Quercus on Glassfish 4.1. I tested in the browser
http://localhost:8080/quercus-4.0.39/ and saw this:
Congratulations! Quercus™ Open Source 4.0.39 is interpreting PHP
pages. Have fun!
Then ran Netbeans Tools > Options > PHP > Activate PHP Support
It worked. I now see this:
So I made 3 tests:
I ran a php page in an html application but instead of displaying the page it prompts a download box to open in Notepad
I created a new PHP project with below configuration:
But when I run the app with above configuration I receive this error:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
So I tried with a third test with other configuration:
When I run this third test I get a HTTP Status 404 - Not Found error on GlassFish server.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
The problems with your tests are:
PHP needs to be interpreted by a web server. Your browser doesn't know what to do with a PHP file, so it just treats it like a file rather than a page to render. Apache is the most common and easiest server to do that with, GlassFish is unnecessary and probably not the best choice for PHP.
In this test, you are trying to visit a web server which doesn't exist. You don't have any server that listens on port 80.
Here, GlassFish is reporting that it can't find the resource you requested. Have you made sure to put your PHP project in the right directory for Quercus (like in step 4 of your documentation link) and made sure you're visiting a valid URL?
I think the best thing for you to do is move away from Quercus. The latest version of it is very old and implements an old version of PHP (version 5, whereas the latest is 5.6). Looking at the official website, the project appears to be dead, with broken links and very old documentation.
I would suggest you investigate installing a WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) or LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack. There are lots of very easy installers for this approach which will help you get up to speed and a lot of helpful tutorials and documentation.
For those who using tomcat, below are the steps :-
Right click your project --> properties --> Run Configuration --> For Run As, select PHP Built-in Web Server
Go to Tools --> Options --> PHP tab --> in Php 5 interpreter, browse the correct location for php
Then it should works !
In my case , my php is in /usr/bin/php7.0, so I put the path in Php 5 interpreter.

Apache Crash Dialog

I'm running XAMPP on my windows machine and experiencing a problem with Apache crashing a couple times a day. When it does, a dialog pops up and I have to manually tell windows to end the program. After I do that, XAMPP automatically starts it back up in a couple of seconds with no issues. When it crashes while I'm not home though, the server is down until I get back. So I have two questions:
Are periodic crashes something that should be expected, or is this indicative of another issue I should be trying to pinpoint?
If this is something I should just learn to deal with, is there a way to automatically restart httpd.exe when these issues occur, so I don't experience down time when I'm away from home?
You'd look into log files, especially the Apache access and error logs, to see what happened, when you are not at home. I've met some similar situation: I have a problematic PHP script hosted on my server, when someone visits the page, it leads to an Apache crash.
I'd suggest you do the investigation as follows:
Search the timestamp of recent Apache restart.
Check the Apache access log to see whether there are some scripts have been accessed.
Manually access these scripts in your browser (to see if Apache will crash again)
You'd better check the PHP error log as well.
If there is really nothing suspicious, you can try WAMP bundle alternatively, which is also a very popular PHP development environment and it is stable.
Although there aren't many cases in which one should "expect" periodic crashes, in this case you are better of reconsidering your setup. From the frontpage of the XAMPP site:
XAMPP is the most popular PHP development environment
Sure, you can use it as "production" server, but XAMPP isn't build for hosting websites, it is intended as development server, so you don't have to manually setup Apache, PHP and MySQL on you dev machine. If you actually want to run your website for the public, setup Apache/IIS, MySQL and PHP manually, those products on there own are made for running in production. Or you can consider getting some cheap shared hosting somewhere, so you don't need to setup anything.

Apache ~ How to Not Start Apache on Computer Boot

I finished coding my website for awhile and would like to stop Apache from starting when my computer boots because it slows down my other startup applications. I have looked through the Apache Wiki, the source files, and the htaccess file. Maybe I am not finding it, but is there any way to do this without uninstalling Apache?
I am using Windows 7 as an OS.
*I just want to mention that this is different than simply stopping or starting or restarting Apache. I know how to do that. I would just like it not to start up on boot until I start working on my website again.
Thanks
Open msconfig (start->type "msconfig"->click "msconfig.exe")
Check "Startup" tab for Apache or "Services" tab if you can't find it, and disable it.

IIS Failed To Run & XAMPP Anomally

I recently activate IIS7 feature in my Windows (through control panel)
Previously I already installed XAMPP in my machine (configured to run on port 8080 through the httpd.conf file)
What happen is:
I am not able to invoke the iis startpage.. (using address http://localhost/), doesn't display error or anything, jus a plain blank page..
on the other hand, when I tried to run my XAMPP, i noticed that on the control panel it is mentioned that it's running on port 80 (which contrary to my settings)
However XAMPP startup page still can only be invoked through http://localhost:8080/xampp. I figured that if what the control panel telling me is true, I shouldn't need to include the ":8080"..
Can anyone give any idea how this happen? And how to fix this anomally, thx?
I some time ago successfully installed a IIS and XAMPP in a Windows (I use Windows 7 Ultimate) and both are running smoothly. But before installing XAMPP, I have activated & using IIS before. I'm using XAMPP 1.7.3.
Maybe you could try to install IIS first, XAMPP. Before installing XAMPP, make sure the IIS service is running / active.
Hope it helps.
