Failed to start Tomcat

[rsysadmin-com]

Hello Josphat,

Apologies for being the first one to report an issue... :-)

Unfortunately something does not work as expected here on a freshly installed CentOS 8 VM...

Sep 07 15:09:10 foobar01 systemd[1]: Starting Tomcat...
Sep 07 15:09:10 foobar01 catalina.sh[8673]: touch: cannot touch '/opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out': Permission denied
Sep 07 15:09:10 foobar01 catalina.sh[8673]: /opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh: line 505: /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out: Permission denied
Sep 07 15:09:10 foobar01 systemd[1]: tomcat.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1
Sep 07 15:09:10 foobar01 systemd[1]: tomcat.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Sep 07 15:09:10 foobar01 systemd[1]: Failed to start Tomcat.

These are the permissions fpr the logs directory:

[root@foobar01 ~]# ls -ld /opt/tomcat/logs/
drwxr-x---. 2 tomcat9 tomcat 6 Jun 30 22:09 /opt/tomcat/logs/
[root@foobar01 ~]#

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Martin
