Hi @AP_9587236.

 

If I'm understanding correctly, you're asking how to get to the Tomcat console page.  Is that correct? 

 

I'm also assuming you used the ThingWorx installer for installation.  If so, the Tomcat console page has been disabled for security reasons.  You can use the Tomcat logs located at <tomcat_home>\logs for validation. 

 

Regards.

Hi @16481297 

 

You can reconfigure Tomcat but keep in mind that if the site is accessible from the public network, you will be compromising its security.  This site provides details on reinstating the console page.

    Just adding some technical; details to @slangley 's answer...

     

    I don't have the installation of the latest and greatest version at hand, but a while back Foundation installer was just removing the 'ROOT' folder (which contains the "default page") from the Tomcat's `webapps` folder.

    No extra security configs were altered / added.

     

    You can restore the default Tomcat home page by simply copying the `webapps\ROOT` folder from the Tomcat installation package (get one on https://tomcat.apache.org/). Just make sure to use the same version - check your version by running version.bat / version.sh from `ThingWorxFoundation\tomcat\current\bin` or `java -cp catalina.jar org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo` from `ThingWorxFoundation\tomcat\current\lib`
