Start tomcat through tomcat-standalone

[Anushri Mishra]

hi, I am using tomcat standalone example from git-examples to start tomcat server but customised it a little meaning I already have tomcat installed

and it starts fine by sudo service tomcat7 start. So this is my main.xml now. Commented out everything except starting tomcat part.

---

# - name: Install Java 1.7

#   yum: name=java-1.7.0-openjdk state=present

# - name: add group "tomcat"

#   group: name=tomcat

# - name: add user "tomcat"

#   user: name=tom group=tomcat home=/usr/share/tomcat createhome=no

#   become: True

#   become_method: sudo

# - name: Download Tomcat

#   get_url: url=http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.61/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.61.tar.gz dest=/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.61.tar.gz

# - name: Extract archive

#   command: chdir=/usr/share /bin/tar xvf /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.61.tar.gz -C /opt/ creates=/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.61

# - name: Symlink install directory

#   file: src=/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.61 path=/usr/share/tomcat state=link

# - name: Change ownership of Tomcat installation

#   file: path=/usr/share/tomcat/ owner=tomcat group=tomcat state=directory recurse=yes

# - name: Configure Tomcat server

#   template: src=server.xml dest=/usr/share/tomcat/conf/

#   notify: restart tomcat

# - name: Configure Tomcat users

#   template: src=tomcat-users.xml dest=/usr/share/tomcat/conf/

#   notify: restart tomcat

# - name: Install Tomcat init script

#   copy: src=tomcat-initscript.sh dest=/etc mode=0755

- name: Start Tomcat

  service: name=tomcat state=started enabled=yes

# - name: deploy iptables rules

#   template: src=iptables-save dest=/etc/sysconfig/iptables

#   when: "ansible_os_family == 'RedHat' and ansible_distribution_major_version == '6'"

#   notify: restart iptables

# - name: insert firewalld rule for tomcat http port

#   firewalld: port={{ http_port }}/tcp permanent=true state=enabled immediate=yes

#   when: "ansible_os_family == 'RedHat' and ansible_distribution_major_version == '7'"

# - name: insert firewalld rule for tomcat https port

#   firewalld: port={{ https_port }}/tcp permanent=true state=enabled immediate=yes

#   when: "ansible_os_family == 'RedHat' and ansible_distribution_major_version == '7'"

- name: wait for tomcat to start

  wait_for: port={{http_port}}

So the problem is that tomcat is not starting by this when running ansible playbook. This is the output it gives:

task path: /workspace/ansible-examples/tomcat-standalone/roles/tomcat/tasks/main.yml:36

Could anyone explain please what am I doing wrong? Do I need this script to be installed tomcat-initscript.sh ? 

Thanks,

It sounds like your service is called 'tomcat7' - change the service task.
