Hello,
I have a local server since 2 two months and today it stopped working.
My tomcat is not able to start again the server. I try with to launch it with windows service but i have an error and when I look to the log, i have this :

Is there a way to uninstall my trial thingworx without losing all my server content ? In order to reinstall it later ?
Or is there a way to to change the path. I am new to thingworx server so I don't know what is the right way to troubleshoot this.

Thanks in advance !

Thanks you all for helping me 🙂

Finally I have uninstalled thingworx and re-install, so it is now working.

 

However I was wondering where was save the thing and mashup created ?

Did Java perhaps get upgraded recently?

See if that path is still existing or not, else go into your environment variables and define the new path.

(or define the new Java home in Linux)

 

As far as 'not losing things on the server' do you mean  your Thingworx development?

if you have no backups, you could back up the actual database content and restore that.

photo_environ_scan.JPGYes, you are right. It was upgrade yesterday but I didn't make the link between the two event due to the delay.

I add the path like you said but I still have the error did I miss something. I add the path on the environnement system. Path highlight on the capture.

Thanks for your help

I made some research and I found that on the setenv.bat the path are write.
So I check if something was wrong but it seems okay, the jre_home is link to my latest java version.
Does someone know why there are ~ are the path name ? Is this some kind of abreviation ?
Is there an another files that I should check for tomcat ?
I used to have two tomcat but i uninstalled the second which wasn't link to thingwork and was more recent.
