Java.lang.NoSuchMethodError when starting Stash through Windows?

[Artomas]

Greetings,

When I start my Stash server I am running into this error, Was wondering if perhaps someone could shed some light on the fix!

Thank you!

Hi Ermen,

Stash is now required to run with Tomcat 7. You can either force tomcat7 in the pom.xml or upgrade the SDK to the latest version. See these answers for more help.

We had the same error but for Confluence:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.catalina.Context.addLifecycleListener(Lo
rg/apache/catalina/LifecycleListener;)V

The problem was that the tomcat jar files were installed in the $CATALINA_BASE/lib and the CATALINA_HOME was pointing to a different version of tomcat than what was in the $CATALINA_BASE/lib.

The solution was to delete all file from  $CATALINA_BASE/lib except mysql-connector-java-*-bin.jar
