Default Tomcat recipe. At the end of the recipe, it goes to start tomcat and fails:

If I log into the node, I can start tomcat fine from the command line, so maybe it’s timing out on start…?

=======================================

Full recipe verbose output and stacktrace:

There’s not a lot of helpful information in this output. Doesn’t look like anything is timing out. You should look into the contents of the script to see if you can glean any insight. A common issue with java services is ENV vars not being set, so you could look at your own environment when you’re logged in to see if there’s any differences.
