OpenEMM Installation Tomcat wont run from start.bat in openemm

Just wondering if there was an expert out there that can help me!?

After installing openemm I am unable to load tomcat from openemm's start.bat, I can however start tomcat from the tomcat \bin directory and load up the tomcat homepage on localhost:8080...

The error I get when running openemm is:

Tomcat version: apache-tomcat-6.0.44
JDK: jdk1.8.0_65
OpenEMM: 2015 R2-win32
Python: 27

I have these environment variables set-up:
CATALINA_HOME = "C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.44"
JAVA_HOME = "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65"
JRE_HOME = "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66"

Try running it like this from the command line (the directory in which start.bat is located) and post 'o.log' here

start.bat >o.log 2>&1

Open in new window

You do not need JAVA_HOME for tomcat. Leave only JRE_HOME.

after running the o.log I get the following:

Starting up .. home is C:\OpenEMM .. found codebase .. found database.
Running, press return for termination:

however the ouput of the catalina window is:

after running the o.log I get the following:

It doesn't get 'run'. It's a log (text) file. You're meant to attach it to the post.

Hi Thanks for the comment sorry if it sounded like i misunderstood what you were asking.

I know you wanted me to attach it to the post however as its just an output of the console window running start.bat saved as o.log, I thought I would just paste the contents directly here as the vm running the installation is not the same one I am using to post expert comments and it makes it difficult for me to get the text file on this PC.

The contents of o.log are:

Starting up .. home is C:\OpenEMM .. found codebase .. found database.
Running, press return for termination:

Hm OK. Can you attach the batch file itself please? Change the extension to .txt beforehand
