When I start tomcat 6 it freezes in certain point of the startup and stays there forever (I've waited 3 hours and nothing happened - not even an out of memory error). I don't have any clue of what could cause a behavior like that.
I'm runnig tomcat with Jira and Confluence, and the problem seem to be when tomcat tries to load confluence:
******************************************************************************************************

After this line above nothing more happens.
I thought it could be a problem with permGem or something like that, so to avoid permGem limitations, I configured catalina.sh with:
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dorg.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl.LIMIT_BUFFER=true"
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -server -Xms1536m -Xmx1536m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=640m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC"
I incresed a lot jvm's space to see if it works, but it didn't help.
Tomcat version: 6.0.18 Jira version: 3.13.3 Confluence Version: 2.10.3
So, anyone have already had this problem before? Could it be a memory(RAM) problem? A problem with Spring and Tomcat6? Or any other kind of problem?
Do you have any errors in your log?
Have you checked if confluence is maybe waiting for the database or network?
