title: tomcat 9 not starting on Ubuntu 14.04, stuck in stop/waiting status
body: <p>I just installed Tomcat 9 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTE and when I run <code>sudo service tomcat start</code>, and then check the status using <code>sudo service tomcat status</code>, I get the status: <code>tomcat stop waiting</code>.</p>
  
  <p>When I access localhost at port 8080 I get a <code>Unable to connect</code>, i.e. it looks like the server is not running.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the tutorial at <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-ubuntu-14-04" rel="nofollow">https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-ubuntu-14-04</a> and used the Tomcat 9 file instead of Tomcat 8.</p>
  
  <p>This is how I installed:
  (all commands executed without error)</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo groupadd tomcat
  sudo useradd -s /bin/false -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat tomcat
  cd ~
  wget http://apache.mirror.serversaustralia.com.au/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.0.M10/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M10.tar.gz
  sudo mkdir /opt/tomcat
  sudo tar xvf apache-tomcat-8*tar.gz -C /opt/tomcat --strip-components=1
  cd /opt/tomcat
  sudo chgrp -R tomcat conf
  sudo chmod g+rwx conf
  sudo chmod g+r conf/*
  sudo chown -R tomcat work/ temp/ logs/
  // set $JAVA_HOME in /etc/init/tomcat.conf: JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre"
  // set in /etc/init/tomcat.conf: env CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms512M -Xmx1024M -server -XX:+UseParallelGC"
  sudo initctl reload-configuration
  sudo initctl start tomcat
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Directory listing of /opt/tomcat:
  Question 1: is there an issue that the folder access permissions are partly <code>root</code> and only some folders are for <code>tomcat</code> user? I followed exactly the steps to create the tomcat user and set permissions per the tutorial.</p>
