Newbie installation question - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

I followed the instructions given in Install the Full Distribution on a Tomcat Application Server manually | docs.camunda.org

and added

<Listener className="org.camunda.bpm.container.impl.tomcat.TomcatBpmPlatformBootstrap" />

in the /opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.36/conf/server.xml before the GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener

I also copied camunda.war & engine-rest.war to /opt/apace-tomcat-9.0.36/webapps.

I started tomcat and check using the configtest option but it gives me the following error

$ /opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.36/bin/catalina.sh configtest

Can you please advise what have I done wrong? Thanks. Regards. Kim.

Hi @mig2,

I guess you have forgotten this step: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.13/installation/full/tomcat/manual/#add-required-libraries.

Hope this helps, Ingo

It’s working now. Thanks.
