Bug ID: 61174
Summary: Cannot install apache tomcat8 on linux mint v18
cinnamon
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.5.x-trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: pwey...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ----
I am having trouble installing apache tomcat v8 (and 7) on linux mint v18. This
appears to be a general problem with people having a debian backend, as I have
seen other questions that are very similar to mine. (One example here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/841655/cannot-install-tomcat8-on-16-04).
Unfortunately, I have not found any good answers on how to debug.
So here is the issue. The apache tomcat software will say that it installs
correctly, but it cannot run and "exits on status code 1". Googling does not
provide an answer to what this is or how to fix it. My logs that I am supposed
to check are also equally cryptic.
Here are the logs:
patientplatypus@next$ systemctl status tomcat8.service

Uninstalling and reinstalling from the linux mint site
(https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/tomcat8) also results in the
same error.
I have just tried with tomcat7 and get the same error. For clarification I am
installing with sudo apt-get install tomcat8.
Someone suggested that there might be a possible fix by unistalling jre and and
re-installing the default. So I tried entering the following two commands:
sudo apt-get --purge remove openjdk*
sudo apt-get install default-jre
and then sudo apt-get install tomcat8.
Unfortunately, this did not work either. I still had the same issue.
Someone else also suggested to print out my logs, so I have found the tail logs
for tomcat8. Unfortunately I am not entirely sure what they mean (I am new to
all this). Perhaps they will say something to someone who has more experience
than I.

I have opened an issue on stackoverflow related to this issue (which can be
found here:

Thank you very much for your help!
