Not running: tomcat8 or grails

[Roger]

Please note that I am trying to install BBB on Ubuntu 18.04, using this command:

root@Grieg:~/Install/bbb-install#  wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -v bionic-230-dev -s myserver.ca -c turn.domain.ca:1004a200000000004cb3f2d6f000d85d -e rmo...@myserver.ca -d -g

But it keeps telling me that the web server is not running:

# Not running:  tomcat8 or grails

................................................................................

# Error: Could not connect to the configured hostname/IP address

When I try to connect to demoHTML5.jsp, this is the 500 error I get:

Do you have any suggestions?  I have been checking out other posts like https://groups.google.com/g/bigbluebutton-dev/c/aN5npK9wvsM/m/JmW53paXAQAJ but haven't found a solution yet.  TIA.

Also checked tomcat8 but I don't notice any problems:

[Roger Moore]

Please note that I resolved the issue by re-installing tomcat8:

# apt-get install tomcat8

Then I installed BigBlueButton using:

# ./bbb-install.sh -w -v bionic-23 -s myserver.ca -e rmo...@myserver.ca
