Can't get management consoles to work

[KarlMCS]

I'm new to NetXMS (coming from Opsview and Zabbix) so please excuse me if I've made a rookie mistake.  A little background... I'm trying to run NetXMS 2.2.2 on Turnkey Core 14.2 (Debian Jessie).  I have installed tomcat7, tomcat7-admin, default-jre (openjdk-7-jre), postgresql (postgresql-9.4), netxms-server, netxms-dbdrv-pgsql.  I have set everything up according to NetXMS Administrator Guide, and as far as I can tell, the NetXMS server is up and running.  However, I can't get the Windows or web management consoles to work.

My preference is to use the web console, so I tried that first.  I renamed nxmc-2.2.2.war to nxmc.war and put it in /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps.  It seems to deploy, but I get a 404 error when I try to open ipaddress:8080/nxmc.  Error attached below.  I have also tried deploying it with the tomcat web manager and had the same result.  The tomcat web manager says nxmc is deployed and running.  I am using Firefox Quantum for this.  I also tried it in Edge, but all it says is "Hmmm...can’t reach this page."  Very helpful...

On this release, I can alternatively install openjdk-8-jre, postgresql-9.6, and tomcat8.  I tried that briefly but still seemed to have the same problem.  I did also try this briefly on Ubuntu Server LTS 16.04.3 but again had the same problem with the web console.

Now, I have also tried the Windows x64 management console on Windows 10.  I extracted the nxmc folder to Program Files and ran nxmc.exe.  It churns for a couple seconds and then gives me the below error.  Not sure where to go with that either.

Any help is much appreciated...

I fixed the issue with the Windows management console.  I didn't realize it was going to be all Java.  I downloaded the 64-bit version, but I only have 32-bit Java installed.  I downloaded the 32-bit console and was able to log into NetXMS.  Seems the server is up and ready to go.

I would really like to get the web management console working if we can figure that out.

Also, I mistakenly said I was using Firefox Quantum.  I'm actually using Firefox ESR 52.6.0 32-bit which was why I had 32-bit Java.

Okay, I got it working, but it seems a bit strange.  What I did was I switched to openjdk-8-jre (from jessie-backports) and tomcat8. 

When I go to ipaddress:8080/nxmc, I get an odd error from Firefox about the page redirecting in a way that will never complete.  I suspect it's redirecting to /nxmc.  So just for kicks, I went to ipaddress:8080/nxmc/nxmc, and it actually works.  I guess that'll do.  I hope this info is useful to someone.

I renamed the war-file to 'ROOT.war'. So I can connect by 'netxms-servername.domain.com'

Hello.

Yes, Java8 is a requirement for some time now. We'll mention it on the site.
