Do you have ThingWorx Application logs generated in ThingworxStorage->Logs directory ? I am not sure about trial instance but I assume you should have access to Thingworx or tomcat logs .If you have, can you please attach to this thread ?

 

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

according to your logs the following Error occurs:

So make sure you set The Library Path correctly in the Windows Service. (Point 18 in http://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_8_hc/en/#page/ThingWorx%2FHelp%2FInstallation%2FInstallation%2Finstall_java_and_apache_tomcat_2.html%23)

or if you didn't use the servicve:

  • Go to your Tomcat folder
  • go to bin folder
  • create a file named "setenv.bat"
  • add the following code: 

set "CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -Djava.library.path=C:\[TomcatFolder]\webapps\Thingworx\WEB-INF\extensions"
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
exit /b 0

  • Replace [TomcatFolder] with your local install

(ported to windows from http://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_8_hc/en/#page/ThingWorx%2FHelp%2FInstallation%2FInstallation%2Finstall_java_and_apache_tomcat__ubuntu_.html Point 42 (its always the answer, Thx D. Adams 🙂 ))

Hi @sagarmemane92.

 

Please refer to this article for running the Configure Tomcat tool.  However, if ThingWorx was running successfully previously, the failures you are experiencing indicate that something in your configuration changed to cause the issue.  Do you recall any changes?

 

Regards.
