[Freeipa-users] Question about FreeIPA-pki-tomcatd fails to start

Dear,

 I encountered an issue on FreeIPA, could someone give some
suggestion? thanks ahead~

 

ipactl start

Starting Directory Service

Staring krb5kdc service

Staring kadmin Service

…

Starting pki-tomcatd Service

Failed
to start pki-tomcatd server

..

 

The Linux version is CentOS7.2 and IPA version is 4.2.

 

I know I can use “ipactl -f start” to work around this issue,
but I still need to fix it because the issue influence function of “ipa-replica-prepare
xxx”.

 

Looking into log files under /var/log/pki-tomcat, there are some error
logs. I found some similar issue from others, but not exactly the same with
mine. Mine issue is about cannot create
RollingLogFile(/var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/logs/ca/signedAudit/ca_audit)
successfully. 

Do you know what could be
the root cause?
