I have simple solution for installing any version of apache tomcat on Ubuntu. Ubuntu 1607 1423 0 14:48 pts/0 00:00:00 grep -color=auto tomcatДЄlso, my environment file has the following: export JAVA_HOME='/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre' T -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/tomcat/temp .Bootstrap start ParallelGC =/opt/tomcat/endorsed -classpath /opt/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar -Dcatalina.base=/opt/tomcat -Dcat Ger=true =file:/dev/./urandom -Xms128m -Xmx256m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=2

Then, do ps -ef | grep tomcat after re-starting tomcat and you should get something like this if tomcat is running: tomcat 1580 1 9 14:47 ? 00:00:03 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java .file=/opt/tomcat/conf/logging.properties -Dja

For me, I set it in nf as follows: env JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre Make sure you are using the right version of Java. I installed Oracle JDK 7, HOWEVER, I still used JAVA_HOME in nf that was pointing to Open JDK: env JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre I have also appended some statements from server.xml below which is inside /opt/tomcat/conf Which proves that there is no such file inside /opt/tomcat/bin

One comment below asked me to look at server.xml inside tomcat root folder bin. sudo update-alternatives -config java and selected /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaД®nv JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jreД®nv JAVA_OPTS='=true =file:/dev/./urandom'Д®nv CATALINA_OPTS='-Xms512M -Xmx1024M -server -XX:+UseParallelGC'.sudo tar xvf apache-tomcat-8*tar.gz -C /opt/tomcat -strip-components=1.sudo useradd -s /bin/false -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat tomcat.
