tomcat code=exited status=203/EXEC

[Mary Wiegand]

I'm getting the following error when I try to run tomcat8.
tomcat code=exited status=203/EXEC

I've done a bunch of searching for things that might work but haven't had
any luck with anything and nothing seems to be straight forward.

I'm using ubuntu server 14.06 and tomcat8.

Any ideas would be awesome.

Thanks,

-Mary

Re: tomcat installation errors

[Mary Wiegand]

I was using a specific walk through to install Tomcat and everything that's
needed with it.
I downloaded the installer from tomcat to the /tmp file and then extracted
it and installed it to the /opt/tomcat dir.
Which I had to make the directory. Should I just start over with a
different guide?

Thanks

Re: tomcat installation errors

[Mary Wiegand]

There was a pid file in that location. I removed it and restarted tomcat.

commands:
rm /opt/tomcat/temp/tomcat.pid
systemctl restart tomcat
systemctl status tomcat

tomcat.service - Apache Tomcat Web Application Container
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service; enabled; vendor preset:
enabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2016-12-20
13:27:49 PST; 5s ago
Process: 31130 ExecStop=/opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh (code=exited,
status=1/FAILURE)
Process: 31117 ExecStart=/opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 31129 (code=exited, status=2)

And I'm still getting the same results from the journalctl -xe.

tomcat installation errors

[Mary Wiegand]

Hi,

I'm installing tomcat v8.5.9 on ubuntu 16.04

this is my tomcat.service file:

#System unit file for tomcat
[Unit]
Description=Apache Tomcat Web Application Container
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking

Environment=JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java
Environment=CATALINA_PID=/opt/tomcat/temp/tomcat.pid
Environment=CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat
Environment=CATALINA_BASE=/opt/tomcat
Environment='CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms512M -Xmx1024M -server-XX:+UseParallelGC'
Environment='JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true
-Djava.security.edg=file:/dev/./urandom'

ExecStart=/opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
ExecStop=/opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

User=tomcat
Group=tomcat
UMask=0007
RestartSec=10
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


This is what I get when I check the journalctl -xe:

tomcat.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT
PID file found but no matching process was found. Stop aborted.
tomcat.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1
tomcat.service: Unit entered failed state.
tomcat.service:Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Anyone have any ideas for me on where to start looking for the
invalidargument?

Thanks,

-Mary
