    Hi @JJ_10299656 

     

    If you're trying to access ThingWorx, you're missing the path in the url:  http://localhost:8080/Thingworx.

     

    As Rocko stated, it's not recommended to deploy the .war file in that manner.  The Tomcat logs should provide more details around the issue if ThingWorx isn't loading as expected, but you may have also missed something during installation.  It's best to use the installer to avoid issues like this.

     

    Regards.

    Have you checked PTC Knowledgebase (support.ptc.com) already for this problem, or any of the log files or Tomcat or ThingWorx?

    Are you following the installation guide? ThingWorx is not deployed via Tomcat App Manager.

    Also, I strongly to recommend using a supported version of ThingWorx, not an outdated one you won't get any fixes for.
