I am trying to install OpenKM. When I click on the file OKMInstaller.jar. I get the following error log. I have Java 8.161 installed as well as Java Development kit 9.0.4. How do I get the software installed and working? Thanks, John

I have solved the Java error. I am now trying to start the Tomcat Apache server. However it is not listed in the Services part of Windows. How do I get it to show up so that I can start it?

Thanks,
John

About the question, you should use JDK 1.8 ( 64 bits architecture )
Here are explained how to configure windows service ( might be the only difference from the screenshots will be the paths and if you do not find a file named tomcat7w.exe is becaused has renamed to openkmw.exe, but these might be the only differences from your scenario )

@jnmwarren

Could you please share how exactly you solved the java error?

First, take a look at your openkm.log which indicates what java version are using, it appears at the beginning of the start-up

Code: Select all

2018-02-12 18:35:17,618 [    main] INFO  com.openkm.installer.Main - JAVA_HOME = C:\openkm-dev\tools\EclipsePortable\App\Java\jdk1.7.0_75

You can set JAVA_HOME variable in setenv.sh or setenv.bat ( in the case of windows when configuring as a service can set what JDK wishes to be used ) https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... mcat7wtool
