How do I fix my systemctl status tomcat?

How can I get systemctl status tomcat to return 'success' instead of 'failed'?

This is my etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service file:

now when i check the status of my tomcat it says

I got this error trying to run sudo certbot --apache

This is my journalctl -xe: https://pastebin.com/JvJ8Uej0 This is my journalctl -b -u tomcat: https://pastebin.com/zPqEBGXH

Tried killing proccess but dont work none:

• 1 It looks like you're asking about two completely different and unrelated problems here. –  Michael Hampton Aug 10, 2019 at 19:24
• Idk I thought they could be related. I tried to give adaquate details . If we can get systemctl to say success that'll be great. –  Philip Rego Aug 10, 2019 at 19:29
• Your Apache problem is answered here . Your Tomcat problem needs more information. Try journalctl -b -u tomcat to get journal entries, and look at catalina.out if one was created. –  Michael Hampton Aug 10, 2019 at 19:36
• I uploaded journalctl -b -u tomcat . That doesnt give the answer. I already know its saying theres another proccess but theres no way to kill it or figure out where its coming from. –  Philip Rego Aug 10, 2019 at 19:54
• I'm getting this error: $ cat catalina.out /opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh: line 467: JAVA_HOME='/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.161-0.b14.el7_4.x86_64/jre/bin/java'/bin/java: No such file or directory –  Philip Rego Aug 10, 2019 at 20:27

My issue was with the line in the unit file:

it should be without quotes:

I was able to find this by trying systemctl restat tomcat and then looking at log catalia.out showed an error in /opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh which /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh calls which looked like an error with JAVA_HOME.

Thank you djdomi for helping me get there in the comments.

systemctl .service can't read the environment variable

I'm using django and now trying to configure server with nginx and uwsi. now i'm running nginx+socket+uwsgi_emperor well . for running uwsgi i use below command in terminal:

and it's working great. now i want add service with systemctl {start|stop|restart|status} uwsgi.service so i can easily use uwsgi. the problem here occur.here is /etc/systemd/system/uwsgi.service:

now when i start it with systemctl start uwsgi.service its running and i can see systemctl status uwsgi.service thaat is loaded well but when i want access the ip the error appear in journalctl -b -u uwsgi that shown my django can't access(read) the environment variable.because i using several environment variable in django's setting so without value of them django can't work correctly.why this happen?(when i running uwsgi in command line all is good but when i want use same command in systemctl django can't read environment variable and error occur ). thank you

that shown my django can't access(read) the environment variable

Because systemd is not running in a shell with your user and that user environment and those variables.

when i running uwsgi in command line

then you are using your own user with that environment and those variables.

before your ExecStart . Or if it is not that many you can also do

(one line per variable) where

• {VAR} is the name of your environment variable
• {VALUE} is the value of that {VAR}

One other approach in addition to the accepted answer is to have this /bin/bash -lc '<your command>' for your ExecStart or ExecStop

and have a corresponding /etc/profile file with the environment variables.

setting environment variables from command line inside unit files

I am trying to set a date inside the unit file for logging

Setting the date does not seam to be working. The error I get is the following:

Commands in ExecStart= in systemd service units do not really run on a shell, so shell expansions (such as the command substitution $(...) you use there) are not really available.

You can use them by calling a shell script explicitly, with /bin/sh -c '...' , in your ExecStartPre= . For example:

Note that you need to escape the $ itself, by using $$ , otherwise systemd will try to interpret as a systemd variable expansion. (Actually, as the next character is ( , a single $ might work there, but doubling it is the more correct setup.)

Please note that using systemctl set-environment like you're doing is really not recommended, since you're creating a global environment variable ${date} that will be available everywhere.

Instead, consider running your ExecStart= command through a shell, in which case you can define a shell variable ${date} and just use it in the single place you need it:

Note again, escaping the $ with $${date} , so systemd doesn't think it's a systemd variable to expand. Also, using exec to ensure the shell is replaced with the java process, making sure systemd will know what the main PID of the service is.

Escaping on systemd ExecStart= can become complex and burdensome quite quickly... So consider instead storing the shell script in a file (in which case you don't need to worry about escaping $ and % and about how the quotes might work slightly differently) and just run that script from the ExecStart= , that's a lot simpler (even though it requires an extra file...)

[solved] ignoring invalid environment 'export lc_all=en_us.utf8':.

Hello there,

I have this very weird issue which apparently not many user encounter. At least I could not find any information about it.

My logs always show the following entry:

What does cause the issue and what does it exactly mean?

It seems not be a problem of Crashplan itself since I am the only user of Crashplan experiencing this. So the problem must be on my system. However, I cannot figure out what is wrong with my locale settings. LC_ALL is not even set. Thus I cannot say where this export LC_ALL command comes from.

Accoring to the AUR page, you added it to your .bashrc.

#5 2013-11-01 21:21:10

True. Sorry I forgot to mention that. This proved to have been working but isn't any longer for whatever reasons.

But more important, what does this error essentially mean?

It searches all non-binary files in ~ and /etc for the string "LC_ALL".

Are you unfamiliar with find and grep, or just lazy?

The latter. He has a long history of this sort of thing. Obviously, the last ban has worn off...

That was insightful. So essentially it comes from here I guess:

But why do only I have this error message then?

The latter. He has a long history of this sort of thing. Obviously, the last ban has warn off...

I don't agree with you for all my problems but this time I see your point. I could have done search on how both commands work together and whether the result will be harmful or not. I apologise for that and acknowledge my part-time laziness!

Solved by adding export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 to my xinitrc for correcting the invalid environment setting.
