    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;I have the same problem. Anyone have answers? For me this happened on
  version 7.3.7 CE AND 7.3 DXP, I was running both.  If Liferay is going
  to run for a while and then die, I can't imagine you'd still be in
  business.  There must be an answer??&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Liferay Portal 7.4.1 GA1 (Tomcat)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database MySQL 8&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RAM : 14 GB&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OS: Ubuntu Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Java JDK 8&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The liferay portal was running fine for months, until a sudden
  computer server shutdown. When I try to start liferay again, it get
  stuck at &amp;quot;starting dynamic bundles&amp;quot;. As you can see in my
  logs below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I download another portal, it works fine but I need my original portal!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to know,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- What are the troubleshooting tips can you give?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Is there a way to see the logs of what's going on while starting
  dynamic bundles? like a verbose log property settings?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried to increase JVM memory as you can see below but still the
  issue persists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are my logs :&lt;/p&gt;
