Can't Start Nuxeo Platform

[Lynn_]

Hi,

I have been running the Nuxeo Platform for a couple of weeks but it won't start after a machine reboot.

I am running 5.9.3 locally on Windows 7 16GB Ram.

There are two errors I receive:

1. When starting through Start Nuxeo.bat, I get the following output in the command window:

Found NUXEO_CONF = C:\ProgramData\Nuxeo\conf\nuxeo.conf Found in path : C:\Windows\System32\java.exe Using JAVA = C:\Windows\System32\java.exe 1 file(s) copied.

2. When starting from the command line without the GUI, using nuxeoctl.bat --gui false. I get this error:

Please can you advise what is going wrong on launch?

Thanks, Lynn

The exception is:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina

This is a standard class part of the standard Tomcat installation. Something is corrupted, you should compare the files with a freshly downloaded Nuxeo, or reinstall.

There's no reason that I can see to get these files deleted.
