Hey,
Trying to install the Tika server on 22.04 LTS and so far it's not
entirely successful. Tried 2.9.2 first and that failed, searched and
found only a very short discussion with someone else having the same
issue and being asked what version the issue started with. So I tried
2.4.1, from the archives, same problem.
The install proceeds as follows:
--------------------CUT--------------------
$ curl
https://archive.apache.org/dist/tika/2.4.1/tika-server-standard-2.4.1-bin.zip
--output tika-server-standard-2.4.1-bin.zip

$ unzip -p tika-server-standard-2.4.1-bin.zip
tika-server-standard-2.4.1-bin/bin/install_tika_service.sh >
install_tika_service.sh
$ sudo bash ./install_tika_service.sh

You can see an error in the script referring to chmod 0640. The only
command in the script that does this references TIKA_VAR_DIR which
defaults to /var/$TIKA_SERVICE, which does exist after the install
"fails", but with perms 0650 rather than 0640 indicating the variable
isn't set or being interpolated correctly at that point in the script.
Note that after this "failed" install, there are two java processes
running as the tika user that was created, according to "ps auxwww |
grep [t]ika" but the service still indicates failed according to systemd
and thus cannot be controlled (stopped/started/restarted).
