Hello I am so sorry If asking again, but I did not find any help. I an new in ThingWorx an I try to make my first installation.

By this Installing_ThingWorx_7.0.pdf reference guide I installed on Windows Server 2012:

apache-tomcat-8.0.30

jdk-8u72-windows-x64

postgresql-9.5.0-1-windows-x64

MED-61111-CD-070_F000_ThingWorx-Platform-Postgres-7-0-0

Tomcat working until I try to deploy war file. Then I have error in stderr log and tomcat service fail.

If I delete \Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0\webapps\Thingworx folder and \Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0\webapps\Thingworx.war file then Tomcat service can start. What I am doing wrong? I am not sure if my work with json file and system variables is correct 😞

I will apreciate every help. Thx

Karel, please do attach the catalina log from Tomcat install directory/logs folder. This is not a common error. Can you retry downloading the war file from the PTC support site and deploying that?

On a side note, your xms and xmx settigs are at 128m and 256m respectively. Based on your system specs, we would need to increase that as well to give Java more memory.
