selinux is preventing from execute access on the file centos

Question

I want to launch the Tomcat service on CentOS with the cmdlet :

systemctl start tomcat.service

but i get the error

Failed to start Apache ExecStart=/opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh (code=exited, status=203/EXEC).

and the log through the command :

Journalctl -xe 

is stating that

Selinux is preventing (artup.sh) from execute access on the file startup.sh

given that i can start any other service on my CentOS what could be the problem for my tomcat service ?

Thank you

Answer 1

you can just disable selinux and see whether it works, but that is not a recommended way.
