Can't access to localhost:8080

Hi,
I just download the Camunda bpm tomcat 7.8 and try to run it.
After configuring JRE_HOME, i though i would be able to access to the page: localhost:8080, but i’m still having trouble, it doesn’t work.
When i launch the “start-camunda.bat” file, two command prompt open, one close after executing lots of stuff, and the other one stay. But i still can’t access to 8080.
I checked to see if this port was already used in my task manager, but it isn’t.
Here is what is written in the cmd that stayed.

Can someone give me a hand on this problem please?

thanks!

Is there anything showing up in the tomcat logs:
\server\apache-tomcat-8.0.47\logs\

I just checked, and this older is empty

Have you tired running the start-camunda.bat file in Admin mode?
Running the Camunda distro on the c:\ instead of in your program files folder?


I get this when i tried to run it in admin mode

Can you translate the message to English?

Have you moved the distro out of the Program Files folder?

The error message says, it cannot find the specified path. Make sure you do have write access to that directory so that tomcat will write logs. Once you run start-camunda.bat, it will launch a window to run tomcat and window remains open. It looks like the window is closed due to missing permissions.

I moved the distro out of the program file folder, it is now in C:/
I tried again in admin mode and get the same error.
the message in te cmd is"the specified path cannot be find" and the other message says “windows cannot find ‘startup.bat’, verify that you enter the correct name and try again”.

Did you move out the entire distro?

yes, i moved the entire foler called “camunda-bpm-tomcat-7.8.0”
I only let the camunda moduler in the program file folder (i installe it before the distro so i don’t think it will change something)

Just only tomcat instead of starting camunda. Go to bin directory of tomcat and run the command, startup.bat. Validate it works and the come to camunda. I feel this would be the approach to debug the issue.

I run the command startup.bat in the bin directory of tomcat and it works ! Thanks!

Are you able to launch the browser with port 8080.

yes it works, but i have to login?

When you run it from tomcat, you said it works and you are able to access the port in browser.

If yes, try the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/camunda/app/welcome/default/#/login

You should be able to login. use demo/demo as the credentials.

I verified all the steps in my laptop.
