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

[Erik Edwards]

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.

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.

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