Hello, I am struggling with a fresh install of thingworx 9.4.4. More so I am struggling to get the tomcat service to start. It is consistently comming up with the error: ubuntu systemd[1]: tomcat9.0.service: Killing process xxxx (n/a) with signal SIGKILL.
I have made sure that the permissions on the PID file location belongs to the tomcat9.0 user.
I have followed the guide: Install Java, Apache Tomcat, and ThingWorx (ptc.com)
I have installed java -version- openjdk version "11.0.21" 2023-10-17.
I have installed tomcat9.0.86.
For now, I have just used the self-signed certificate for simplicity and will change over once I have the service working.
From the guide I made sure to do the following:
Edit AUTHBIND properties to allow Tomcat to bind to ports below 1024
sudo apt-get install authbind
# For port 80
sudo touch /etc/authbind/byport/80
sudo chmod 500 /etc/authbind/byport/80
sudo chown tomcat9.0 /etc/authbind/byport/80
# For port 443
sudo touch /etc/authbind/byport/443
sudo chmod 500 /etc/authbind/byport/443
sudo chown tomcat9.0 /etc/authbind/byport/443
echo 'AUTHBIND=yes' | sudo tee /usr/share/tomcat9.0/9.0.86/bin/setenv.sh
sudo chmod +x /usr/share/tomcat9.0/9.0.86/bin/setenv.sh
Here is my Tomcat9.0.service file:

I am not sure where to turn to, and I am looking for some assistance / guidance / suggestions / additional reading material.
Thanks.
