openkm 7 CE and windows server 2016

I tried to install, using the windows package, on a virtualized windows server 2016 without success. The installation process has apparently terminated correctly, MySQL has been also installed. jdk-11.0.24.8 and tomcat-9.0.115\ are in place and the openkm service is up. But
http://localhost:8080/openkm returns "impossible to find the page".
localhost acces log:

Any suggestion?

You have a lot of problems:
1- java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\tomcat-9.0.115\repository\.system.key (Accesso negato)
you should modify security at C:\tomcat-9.0.115 and give FULL grants to the user "Local Service" ( all the hierarchy )
2-then you have a problem with the database ( or not able to connect or and old version ) -> What database version did you installed. Please check in the openkm.properties the database user and password and try to check if you can access to the database and create tables etc...

You are still having problems accessing the file:
2026-04-19 16:53:30.791 ERROR 788 --- [main] com.openkm.util.event.RepositoryHelper : C:\tomcat-9.0.115\repository.system.key (Access denied)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\tomcat-9.0.115\repository.system.key (Access denied)
I recommend deleting the database and recreating it; this will fix some warnings and start with a clean process... the main issue is still the OS security.
You can try opening the OS terminal as administrator, go to C:\tomcat-9.0.115\bin and then run "catalina.bat run". This is not the correct way to start the application at all, but you have something related to Windows security policy and services that is causing problems when accessing the file in question (and probably others).
After starting it for the first time from the terminal, stop it and try running it as a service to see if it starts correctly. In any case, as I mentioned, your problem is something related to Windows security policy and the service user when accessing files.
