Re: Fedora, Systemd, OpenMeetings: fails to start after OS update (Info post for archives)

[Erik Edwards]

Yes, this is exactly how and why it works from the command line but not from the .service file.

The .service file overrides the OS's environment settings for java.

Hi Erik,

The tutorial say:

"Maybe you have installed different versions of Java. Please, select the just 
installed OpenJava 11:
sudo update-alternatives --config java

After an update to Fedora (which updated the openjdk environment)
OpenMeetings would no longer start via the systemd service script, but
it would start via the command line.

Looking in <OpenMeetingsLogDir>/catalina.out showed the java machine was
not found.

Traced this to the line in the .service file:

Environment=JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

Changed it to:

Environment=JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.11.0.9-0.fc34.x86_64

Then OpenMeetings was again able to start from systemd.
