after a few days of pondering around google I give up.

Running Tika-Server with command line works fine and Tika-Server starts responding on http://localhost:9998:

java -jar tika-server-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Following this guide (with appropriate changes to scripts, paths and jar names ofc) Tika-Server is not responding on http://localhost:9998. I have used option with logging from this guide (at the bottom) and output to log file is the same as is when Tika-Server is run with command line.

Service does not show up with command

systemctl | grep running

but it shows up with command

systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled

as enabled.

I have also tried to run java service via init.d path, but it didnt work.

What am I missing?

  • What does systemctl status the-name-of-your-service print? e.g. systemctl status Tika-Server if you set up your service as /etc/systemd/system/Tika-Server.service

  • It returns alot, not sure which part you are interested in. This is interesting part: ● Tika-Server.service - Tika Server Java Service Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/Tika-Server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2018-03-22 08:33:28 UTC; 50min ago Process: 3993 ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/Tika-Server.sh stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 3991 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/Tika-Server.sh start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 2797 (code=exited, status=143)

  • Hmm, after running sudo systemctl start Tika-Server.service command again, it appears it started working.. Could there be a timeout problem or something?

  • I think this indicates the server itself failed/exited at some point after being started. Logs would help. Instead of having Type=forking and ExecStart, ExecStop, ExecReload point to a script that starts/stops/restarts the java jar, try putting the java jar command directly in the .service file, e.g. Type=simple then ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /path/to/Tika-Server.jar and remove ExecStop and ExecReload -- systemd (systemctl status ...) then will also show you logs (anything printed by the server on stdout/stderr), which the intermediate script is redirecting to /dev/null
