The problem is that OpenKM comes with some extra files in the tomcat. I suggest use our installer rather than installing the war directly in your tomcat ( tomcat version , jdk version etc.. is something to take in consideration for get it running ) .

OpenKM by default comes with tomcat-7.0.61 -> you can find it here https://sourceforge.net/projects/openkm/files/common/ ( I can tell you what is the difference between standard tomcat -> the modified and new files ).

The problem with the .jar file is that once executed (java -jar OKMInstaller.jar) after few seconds it bombs the message "Unable to get local address" and installation aborts. So i cant install OpenKM by any means.

Best regards!

The installer should create some log, can you share with us.

You can follow the steps described here:
https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... ation.html

From here must download the war file to be deployed into webapps folder https://sourceforge.net/projects/openkm/files/6.3.4/
From here must download the tomcat https://sourceforge.net/projects/openkm/files/common/

I suggest wait until we take a look at the log file, because if more comfortable using the installer rather doing everything manually.
