I recently upgraded Java and now Tomcat service won't start. This is on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server. Tomcat is version 8.5. I upgraded from Java 7 to Java 11, Azul Zulu 7 to Azul Zulu 11. When running systemctl status tomcat85 I see the following not particularly helpful output:
Although the service won't seem to work, I can start Tomcat manually with the following command:
/opt/tomcat85/bin/startup.sh
These are the contents of the service file:

catalina.out reveals the following error:
I'm not sure where to go next with troubleshooting this issue. There are several seemingly related discussions on Stack but none have provided a solution as of yet. Any help is appreciated and I'm happy to add more information as requested.

I have found the answer thanks to some good feedback here in this post. The problem was several deprecated entries in the EnvironmentFile:
/etc/default/tomcat85
JAVA_OPTS="-server -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseTLAB -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:PermSize=1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xms16384m -Xmx20480m"
One of the errant entries was:
-XX:+UseParNewGC
The updated entry is:
-XX:+UseG1GC
Additionally the following entries needed to be removed:
UseConcMarkSweepGC
PermSize
MaxPermSize

Something wrong with Tomcat9

I have Ubuntu server on my computer and i have the tomcat9 there.
Last night everything was going well, put .war into webapp folder and it would run like it should on localhost:8080/app
Then i went to sleep and was prepared to continue from where i left off, but behold, yet again there is a problem with tomcat!
i restarted the server, went to /opt/tomcat9/bin and ran startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat9
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat9
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat9/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre
Using CLASSPATH: /opt/tomcat9/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/tomcat9/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Tomcat started.
but at localhost:8080 is now unable to connect, as is the /app folder too.
In logs there is nothing....
It seems it dosent even write into logs anymore, last log post is
from last night, despite running the server 5min ago.

Am i really just bad with the service or what, it feels like majority, somewhere around 70% of my time is wasted on debuggin Tomcat alone,
I would totally love to actually work on my project instead of tomcat...

Seems your Java Runtime Environment is missing
That end of the catalina.out is rather revealing: it cannot seem to find the java executable!
Try in a terminal to write
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java -version
Unless you get something along these lines...
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)
...then it is not your Tomcat that is broken but your Java Runtime Environment.

For Linux,
you can default set by using the following command.
sudo update-alternatives --config java

UPDATE#2:
This is a suggestion. You can reinstall java8 and tomcat9 after removing current installation.

bluemix libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found

My apps are web app projects (java liberty pack).
I want to run executables with java process builder in servlets but I am getting errors. That executables depends to GLIBC.
How can I solve them?
First project:
libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found
Second Project:
/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found

Cloud Foundry supports "stacks" which define the operating system runtime your application will be deployed onto.
[10:04:11 ~]$ cf stacks
Getting stacks in org james.thomas#uk.ibm.com / space dev as james.thomas#uk.ibm.com...
OK
name description
lucid64 Ubuntu 10.04
seDEA private
cflinuxfs2 Ubuntu 14.04.2 trusty
Currently, IBM Bluemix is deploying applications onto the older Ubuntu 10.04 stack by default. This environment contains GLIBC 2.11.
You can specify which stack to deploy your application onto using the "-s" command line flag or setting this in the manifest.
Choosing cflinuxfs2 will use a more recent version of Ubuntu with an updated version of the glibc libraries.
This should hopefully work.

Redeploying a Grails App using Jenkins on Tomcat fills PermGen Space

Currently we are having various problems with the deployment of our Grails application on Tomcat 6, mainly it's about memory usage issues and redeployment via Jenkins.
The Application eats more and more memory, and we tried to resolve this with CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled (we are using UseConcMarkSweepGC), so now the temporary classes used by Groovy should get cleaned up.
What still is a problem is that on each Redeploy (with jenkins) the app needs around 150 mb of additional Permgen space ... any idea how to avoid this?
We are using Grail 1.3.7, and our current configuration flags are
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/var/lib/tomcat6/conf/logging.properties
-Djava.awt.headless=true
-Xms2048M
-Xmx2048M
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-XX:PermSize=1024m
-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/share/tomcat6/endorsed
-Dcatalina.base=/var/lib/tomcat6
-Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat6
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp/tomcat6-tmp

It's very popular tomcat issue, they even have some recommendations: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/OutOfMemory, but at most cases it's works only for small or fully controlled project (mean 'project without any external library'). All solid projects I ever seen fails under tomcat with this error :(
My recomendation - restart Tomcat instance after deploy.

We've experienced similar issues with our Grails applications on Tomcat. Our solution is the same as what Igor suggests, restart Tomcat after a deploy.
We have two production servers setup in a cluster so they share sessions. We take one server down, undeploy the application, restart tomcat, deploy the new version of the application, and bring that server back up. Then repeat the process on the other server. So far this is working for us.

tomcat wont start up on linux machine

I'm new to Linux but having spent a whole day I Installed Java and Tomcat. My goal is to host an App with this Linux box. I know it all works fine from my windows based machine, but it is my laptop so I'm planning to use the Linux Box as my dedicated server.
Following many many forums I've now got Tomcat 7 installed. However i cannot get it to start.
Changing to the tomcat directory and "./startup.sh" i get the following output:
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME: usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/
Using CLASSPATH: /usr/local/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
That's the end of the output.
However localhost:8080 is not up, and in the tomcat log file is the error "eval: 1: usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun//bin/java: not found"
Hopefully there is some expert here who can help me with this problem. Please note that I'm a novice when it comes to Linux.
PS: My Linux version is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx

JRE_HOME is missing a / at the start of it.
Your CATALINA_HOME and CLASSPATH also looks wrong, with a local.tomcat instead of a local/tomcat and c\tomcat-juli instead of tomcat-juli

Try typing this on the command line:
$ export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat
$ export JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
$ /usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh run
This will run Tomcat in the terminal you have open, so you can watch it do stuff. Press CTRL+C to quit it.

First download the Linux tomcat version.
Unzip it.
Go to the tomcat bin folder.
Run the startup.sh for start the tomcat server
Shutdown.sh for using to stop the tomcat

I'm just posting in case this will help someone else. I had my JAVA_HOME set to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java
I should have been
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre
without the /bin/java part at the end. This is because will look for bin/java in that path already and you don't need to specify it.

When I encountered something similar, the problems was with my Tomcat7 installation. I downgraded to Tomcat6 and it started working perfectly.
