Unable to start openam application after deployment on Apache tomcat

[aanandsri]

Hi,

I have deployed openam 6.0 on tomcat 9.0.1. When I am trying to start the services for openam configuration it is throwing below error –

Hi Aanandsri,
I have tried the same configuration in my local system and it works fine without any errors. I did below things to install AM-6.0.0 on Tomcat 9
1.Removed AM5.5.1.war and AM5.5.1 folder from tomcat webapps folder.
2.Removed the .openamcfg files from “C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile” location.
3.Deployed AM-6.0.0 on tomcat webapps folder and started the tomcat, can see the openam Configuration Options page.

Hope it may helps to you.
Thanks,
Srinath

Hi Srinath,

Thanks for the response. I will look into your suggestion.
For the time being, I down-grade my tomcat from 9.0.1 to 8.5.31 and it works!

Thanks

Hi Ashish S,

I got a similar error when I used tomcat 9.0.8 and AM 6.
I added a setenv.sh file in /bin directory and exported the java 8 path and it did fix the error for me.

My Fix was–
Added a setenv.sh file in $TOMCAT/bin

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
CATALINA_OPS="-server -Xmx2g -XX:MetaspaceSize=256m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m"

I had multiple java version installed but got correct java version in the tomcat-users bash profile and still got that error.
So I exported java path from setenv.sh and it worked for me.
Also, be sure to do chmod +x setenv.sh
