I've installed Tomcat (apache-tomcat-8.5.37), on a CentOS VM (using bento/centos-7).
Tomcat is installed in
/opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.37
and Java 8 is installed in
/usr/java/jre1.8.0_192-amd64
Before to install Tomcat I've created a tomcat user in this way
sudo useradd tomcat
sudo passwd tomcat
sudo mkdir /opt/tomcat
sudo chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/tomcat
su – tomcat
If I try to start Tomcat manually using
/opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.37/bin/startup.sh
all works fine and I can test Tomcat ad its examples from the url
http://192.168.33.10:8080
(note: 192.168.33.10 is the IP of my virtual machine ...)
I can also shutdown Tomcat using
/opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.37/bin/shutdown.sh
I'd like to start Tomcat like e service so I've stopped Tomcat and then I've edited a file
/etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service
with this content
[Unit]

Then
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
and
sudo systemctl start tomcat
Tomcat does not responding now invoking the url
http://192.168.33.10:8080
and the output of
sudo systemctl status tomcat
is the follow
