Cannot Start Camunda Webapp in Tomcat

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

Hi,

I am trying to deploy the standalone community edition of Camunda to a vanilla install of Tomcat. I place the .war file (once renamed to camunda.war) into the Tomcat webapps directory and it is uncompacted and setup in Tomcat and shows as an application in the Tomcat Web Application Manager. However it is not started. When I try to start it the following error appears: “FAIL - Application at context path [/camunda] could not be started”

A breakdown of the versions of software I am using:
Windows Server 2019
Apache Tomcat/9.0.24
OpenJDK 12.0.2
camunda-webapp-tomcat-standalone-7.11.0.war

From what I can see, all of the versions of software I am trying to use should be compatible.

If anyone could provide any advice, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Could you please share the server log file containing the error during the deploy.

HI Yana, thanks for the reply. Turns out there is a massive list of tasks which needed to be completed buried away in the documentation. I’ve successfully got it all operational now. Thanks.
