Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Can you get the output from the commands above?

Since there isn't enough information in your report to differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

I have seen these issues being reported across various minor versions now.
I guess the requested status and journal will match what we see in the logs.

e.g.
● tomcat7.service - LSB: Start Tomcat.
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/tomcat7; generated; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since to 2016-12-15 21:22:55 EET; 20ms ago
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
  Process: 8317 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/tomcat7 start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

The question is "why".
Especially since many of us tried to recreate when triaging the bugs and it just worked all the time. We have to identify what in all these setups is the common issue that prevents the default tomcat to start/restart.

And that seems neither in journal nor in the service status.
I'm dupping a few more bug I think that are all the same case to get more people onto this one and hopefully more data reported.

Maybe checking the tomcat log itself - which I think should be /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out in these cases - might help. Anybody able to share his?
