FIWARE AuthZForce 5.4.1 is not installing

Question

I am trying to install FIWARE AuthZForce 5.4.1, following the official documentation, but with no success because the Tomcat7 is not starting during the installation process as can be seen below.

(Reading database ... 40187 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack authzforce-ce-server-dist-5.4.1.deb ...
Unpacking authzforce-ce-server (5.4.1) over (5.4.1) ...
Setting up authzforce-ce-server (5.4.1) ...

[fail] 
dpkg: error processing package authzforce-ce-server (--install):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 authzforce-ce-server

Is there another way to install AuthZForce? The documentation is very poor. Since the AuthZForce is not correctly installed, I am getting the well known "AZF domain not created for application" message, as stated below:

Fiware AuthZForce error: "AZF domain not created for application"

“AZF domain not created for application” AuthZforce

Can anyone help with this problem?

Upgrade to the latest version, as we are not maintaining v5.4.1 anymore which was using Tomcat7/Java 7. We switched to Tomcat8/Java 8 since v6.x. If you have an issue again and want faster response, follow Support request instructions on our Github repo. Documentation is available as well.
