can't we create multiple instances of tomcat7 in ubuntu?

Posted on June 12, 2016

Hi, I created duplicate instance of tomcat by creating a directory under /var/lib/tomcat7-a. Later i updated server.xml with new port i copied catalina.properties file and web.xml.

finally created init service for tomcat7-a and updated with defaults. I tried to start the program when i pose a command like, service tomcat7-a start it gives “tomcat7-a not installed” means, it stops at below script in init program, if [ ! -f “$CATALINA_HOME/bin/bootstrap.jar” ]; then log_failure_msg “$NAME is not installed… kjfkdj” exit 1 fi

what should i do now?

Hi Jaccs

Were you able to fix the issue. I followed the same instructions but now facing following issue:

root@XXXXX:/etc/init.d# sudo service tomcat8-a start Failed to start tomcat8-a.service: Unit tomcat8-a.service not found. root@XXXXX:/etc/init.d#
