While migrating isbn to the Stretch job grid I ran into this problem:
tomcat is running fine on trusty:
$ webservice status Your webservice of type tomcat is running $ curl -s -i https://tools.wmflabs.org/isbn/ | head -1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK
After stopping the webservice on trusty, I tried to start it on stretch, but it dies after the start:
$ webservice --backend=gridengine tomcat start Starting webservice............ $ webservice status Your webservice is not running
(Going back to trusty, I can start the webservice without problems.)
Log:
$ tail -1 service.log 2019-03-01T12:02:59.037776 No running webservice job found, attempting to start it
