Hi .,

This issue will come intermittently in 6.3 version.

One of the solution for this problem is with in data folder there will be a file called "hybristomcat.java.pid" will be there, remove it and re build your system, the issue will be solved(temporary solution).

But in 6.3 when ever you get this you need to remove and re build it.

In Hybris 6.4 fix is provided for the above issue.

Regards, Yesh.
