I run into this problem over and over again.
I get this message when I try to sudo apt-get install tomcat8
Job for tomcat8.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status tomcat8.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
I was getting this message when I was trying to
service tomcat8 start
Can anyone help? So I decided to apt-get purge and apt-get install. And now it doesn't install at all.
What should I do?
Here's the output for
systemctl status tomcat8.service
