Question

New Installation of Thingworx - Authentication Problem after Deployment

OK, so I've been struggling getting our Thingworx server up and running.

I'm following the "5 0 Install and Configuration.pdf" document and have gotten to step 6 of the New Installation of Thingworx (Tomcat is installed & running, Thingworx.war is deployed).  When I click /Thingworx in Tomcat or go to 127.0.0.1:8080/Thingworx, I get a 401 error that says "The request requires HTTP authentication" - but it never prompted me for authentication! Does the same thing in IE and Chrome.

I've been searching this forum and google for the last couple hours. I'm at a brick wall.

    Found the problem. Looks like Thingworx does not work with Apache 8.x.  I installed Apache 7 and it worked.
