When I try to setup a server, install thingworx platform using installation guide, I am getting many issues..

1. License file is not generated

2. When I try to access localhost:<portnumber>/Thingworx it is giving me the page not working, 401 error. I have checked the firewall and allowed acess to the port, but the issue is not resolved.

3. When I tried to install trial version, I am facing the same issue.

 

Installation guide which I followed is:  https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/9A25882D333E48CFA13D97DD219039D5.pdf?sc_lang=en

hi @mneumann

 

thank you for the reply. The issue has been resolved, In other document it was mentioned to use password with minimum of 14 characters and it worked.

Hi @rajee

you're installing on Windows or Linux?

Most of the points of failure I've seen is either

* incorrect licensefile

* missing the library path in the Tomcat Java options

* missing initial Administrator's password in the platform-settings.json

 

Is there content in the ThingworxStorage folder created?

Are there any Thingworx / Tomcat logs available?

 

Cheers,

Michael

Hi @rajee.

 

In addition to the suggestions from @mneumann, please validate the system requirements.

 

Regards.

hi @slangley

 

I have checked all the system requirements, selected the server system with those features.
