Litespeed stops working

[nicksnels]

I'm trying to get JWChat to work behind Litespeed. I have it deployed on a Tomcat server. JWChat is working when I access it on port 8080. I have also enabled port 8009 on Tomcat.

On Litespeed (I'm using 2.2.6) I have added an external application:
Name: Tomcat 5.5
Type: Servlet Engine
Address: localhost:8009
Max Connections: 100
Initial Request Timeout: 60
Retry Timeout: 10
Response Buffering: No

And I also added a script handler:
Suffixes: jsp
Handler Type: Servlet Engine
Handler Name: Tomcat 5.5

At this stage I can still gracefully restart Litespeed and it comes back up.

After that I created a new virtual host based on the centralConfigLog template. On the context menu I added a new context (and deleted the cgi-bin one):

Type: Java Web App
URI: /jwchat/
Servlet Engine: Tomcat 5.5

If I do a graceful restart, the server doesn't come back up again. I need to delete all entries in httpd_config.xml that point to this new virtual host, before Litespeed starts again. I can't find any errors in stderr.log. I have no more clues of what is going wrong. I'm hoping you can help me. Thanks.

Kind regards,

Nick
