title: Inactive tomcat.service in Centos 7
body: <p>Very new to Linux and currently tasked to install tomcat 7 in centos 7 os.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the instruction here:
  <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-7-on-centos-7-via-yum" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-7-on-centos-7-via-yum</a></p>
  
  <p>Everything seems to be ok and did not get any errors but as soon as I run sudo systemctl status tomcat</p>
  
  <p>It shows that the tomcat.service is Active: Inactive (Dead)</p>
  
  <p>I opened the catalina.out to see error messages but it is not showing any error. Would appreciate any help to nudge me to the right direction. Thanks</p>
