I’m trying to run tomcat 7 on ubuntu 16.04 but when I run “sudo service tomcat7 start” I get
Job for tomcat7.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status tomcat7.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
and if I run “systemctl status tomcat7.service” I get
jhon@mitutorweb:/etc/init.d$ systemctl status tomcat7.service ● tomcat7.service - LSB: Start Tomcat.

Sorry to see that your question hasn’t received an answer yet. Unfortunately, after this much time, it is unlikely an answer for this specific question will be provided without more information. In general, the error Error opening terminal: unknown. is seen when attempting to run a program that requires interaction in an environment without access to a tty. Though I’m unsure why that would be the case here and would need to see /etc/init.d/tomcat7 to better understand what it is calling.
