Fresh Tomcat takes loong time to start up

Posted on October 7, 2014

So I’m new to digitalOcean. I began with ubuntu server and ran an tomcat installation on it according to this tutorial

And server start up takes really long time (“INFO: Server startup in 518366 ms”). I have one app on it that only has index.html file in it, just for testing.

What could be the cause of this? Is the Lowest bugget option on digitalocean really that slow?

How is it that it takes a full day to get Tomcat up and running and so long to find this answer? I found this on the third page of google search. It would behoove DO to be on top of these, especially with such a simple setup - Ubuntu + Tomcat if they want to be a player.
