For the past 2 months I run tomcat7 perfectly on my ubuntu server. Today tomcat7 failed to start. I started tomcat 7 

sudo systemctl start tomcat 7

Job for tomcat7.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status tomcat7.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Then I checked for the status 

sudo systemctl status tomcat7

● tomcat7.service - LSB: Start Tomcat.
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/tomcat7; generated)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2020-05-16 15:47:00 HKT; 8min ago

Then, I checked for the log error and I have no idea how to fix this 

sudo tail /etc/var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out
