Tomcat Service Fails to Start
PostPosted:Tue Nov 25, 2025 1:40 am
During the manual installation process, where the user downloads the latest stable OpenKM WAR file and deploys it on a separately installed Tomcat instance; the Tomcat service often fails to initialize or crashes immediately after starting, producing generic or misleading errors in the Windows Event Viewer.
I see a few things like this:
- The `service.bat` script executes successfully, creating the Tomcat service, but the service fails to start via `services.msc`.
- The standard Tomcat log often contains no entry or only a partial initialization record, making root cause analysis impossible.
Any help is welcome!
