What I find from stack overflow is a path may be missing but I don't know what to edit if that is the case or what the path is or if the path is missing

I think the idea with nailgun is that you have to include the classpath when you launch the server, like this: $ java -cp /usr/share/java/nailgun-0.9.0.jar:path/to/myapp.jar -server com.martiansoftware.nailgun.NGServer 127.0.0.1 & NGServer started on 127.0.0.1, port 2113. [1] 22443 $ ng-nailgun com.user4215685.main

Any help would be appreciated.

Thx

Got it running, the path showed in the status message did not exist but nailgun-server.jar file does exists.  So I edit fits-nailgun.service file.
