If FlexDeploy doesn't appear after a few minutes, here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • Logs are located at <FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/logs
  • Usually opening flexdeploy.0.log is the best way to find the problem. The most common problem is that a port that Tomcat wants to use is already in use.
  • By default, the Tomcat server is configured to run on port 8000. If this port is in use, change to some other unused port. Search for <Connector port="8000" protocol=" HTTPdHTTP/1.1", if you want to change it...
    • Edit the file at <FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/conf/server.xml
    • There are other ports referenced in the server.xml file as well. If the logs contain a port in use error, you can find the open ports on your machine and then search this file for ports that you find are in use and change them.
  • If the logs folder doesn't have any useful information, and you aren't sure what else to try, use a command window and go to the bin folder. Then execute the command "catalina.bat run" A better error message should be shown.
  • If you still aren't sure what to do, email us at our support site, support@flexagon.com
  • If you get any Java related errors, verify that you have Java 7 or 8 64 bit installed. If troubles persist, modify theTomcat Environment script setenv.bat for JAVA_HOME.
