Tomcat hangs and stops responding when uploading the war file
When uploading the war file, Tomcat hangs and stops responding. This typically occurs if you have not defined a MySQL user account that OpenMRS can use to access the database or if you have not granted this user full access to the OpenMRS database.
The default username is test with password test. The default username/password can be overridden in the openmrs_runtime_properties.properties configuration file.
To fix this: use Navicat or the MySQL administration tool (available from MySQL) to verify that you have a user with username test and password test and this user has full access to the OpenMRS database.
Tomcat error when uploading war file - FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException

java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException: the request was rejected because its size (54624465) exceeds the configured maximum (52428800)

To fix this: Go to the web.xml of the manager application (for instance it could be under /tomcat7/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml).
Increase the max-file-size and max-request-size:

Cannot connect to Tomcat on port 8080
This port is sometimes used by other programs, such as Popfile and TivoServer. You can use the Windows "netstat -ao" command to discover if another process is using port 8080. Also, a case was found where
In one case, software for a HP Laserjet 2840 printer was trying to use port 8005, which conflicts with Tomcat startup.

In the latest version of EL Spec v2.2, Java identifiers and reserved keywords cannot be used in EL expression. In OpenMRS we have some parts in JSP that do not conform to this new spec. To workaround this problem, you can add "-Dorg.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true" to CATALINA_OPTS environment variable - See discussion: Identifier creation doesn't work in trunk
