Windows 7 - Tomcat starts, OpenKM won't

 #20669  by crossfire87
 
I'm evaluating a number of document management products for a client, and was hoping to give OpenKM a try. But I've had nothing but problems with the installation over the last 2 days, tried different versions and different windows 7 machines to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right now I'm using the openkm-6.2.2-community-tomcat-bundle. I've got JDK 1.6 installed and the java environment variables set (I had also tried 1.7 earlier, but was no better off). Whenever I run the startup command, tomcat will boot however it will show errors relating to the openkm startup. Post-startup I'm able to see Tomcat installed using port 8080, but the OpenKM url gives me a 403.

This is the output I'm getting for this particular setup, when I run 'catalina.bat start' :

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I've looked through the installation guides and videos, but none of them seem to address the errors I'm hitting.

The problem is that you have installed openkm with a path which contains spaces. Simply uninstall and install under a path without spaces as is indicated in downloading webpage installation instructions.

Sorry to have bothered you, I think I've got a test environment working now. I just tried installing it on another windows 7 machine, using the same process I had done with this previous one, and it seems to be working there. I'll just work off of that machine. I'll post back if I hit any more problems. Thanks!
