Please, tell me which OS and version are you using, Java version and which parameters are you using. In short, the best information you can provide to reproduce the issue because I can't.

I have the same problem, all installation goes fine, but the service is nowhere to be found.
I'm installing on Ubuntu server 16.04 LTS, there I have samba server with a few shares and an SVN server,
nothing else. Java is correctly installed, mysql is also without any problems. The directory tomcat-7.0.61
is created and has lots of stuff in it, but /etc/init.d/ has no tomcat in it, and of course the service tomcat start
doesn't work because there is no such service.
I downloaded the installer from here: https://www.openkm.com/en/download.html OKMInstaller.jar(Linux x64)
I don't know where to check the version though, but it is the only one on the above mentioned page.
We have OpenKM Pro at work and it is very nice, I have installed in windows before and it also works nice, but
this time I want to put it on my linux box because it makes sense.
I'm hoping you can help us with this.
Regards,
VV

In the latest version the service name was changed to "openkm" in Linux and "OpenKM" in Windows.

I've tried again in Ubuntu 16.04 and the installed complete the task without errors. The version is shown at the beginning (see attached screenshot)

Thanks, I'll check when I'll get home, but it must be the same since I downloaded from the same page, or?
Another thing that comes to mind, I ran the installer directly from the server terminal whereas you probably
are using PuTTy or something like that, would that matter?
Thanks again for your answer.

You are right, it doesn't matter at all. But, I managed to figure out what was going on.
I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJrkD2BdAJo
and it's great, good explanations etc, except for one little detail, there is no service
called "tomcat"! The service is called "openkm"! I did exactly as the woman on the video
says , but instead of:
Code: Select all
root@myserver:/# sudo service tomcat start
I used
Code: Select all
root@myserver:/# sudo service openkm start
Then the rest as in the video, wait a little bit and done, now everything works fine.
Even now if I type
Code: Select all
root@myserver:/# sudo ls -lisa /etc/init.d/
There is still no tomcat there, but there is openkm and that's how I decided to try it out.
Thank you for trying to help.

We had to change the service name to avoid collisions with existing Tomcat service. And it was after publishing the video.

Sorry for the confusion.

and for the time you put trying to help people here.
