javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java:comp is not bound in this Context

Logs are filled with the same error, over and over.

I should have known: I have seen this type of error before in other projects. So here is the answer again - let's hope I will remember next time.

The server wasn't shut down properly. Kill all java processes and restart the server.

The post I made in search of the answer this time: NameNotFoundException: Name java:comp is not bound in this Context. The post I found that reminded me of the answer to this type of error: error getting dbconnection jdbc/dotCMSPool.

Shutdown, kill, start and look at logs.

sudo $DOTCMS_ROOT/bin/shutdown.sh
sudo killall java
sudo $DOTCMS_ROOT/bin/startup.sh
tail -f $DOTCMS_ROOT/logs/dotcms.log
