Hi Team,
Facing the same issue.
Hello, @Priyanka
Because version has been changed.
You can try below one,
$ sudo curl -O https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.61/bin/apache-tomcat-8.5.61.tar.gz
rest steps is same.
You can cross verify of available version by visiting that site (https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.61/bin/).
Let me know if you are still facing the issue.
I had tried it with latest version as well.
But it is working now.
Thanks!
Good to hear that,

hi @player001 / @KodeKloud
When same thing is attempted on v9.0.41 I do not get this error.
Can you please investigate and suggest why there is error in version suggested earlier v8.5.61 but this error is not seen when V9.0.41 is chosen.
Am I missing anything ?
Output is provided below

Output of extraction is ommited due to limitation imposed on characters . But this is enough for me to pass the checks at the end if I manually create directory with -8 just for sake of passing.
