Installation of Tomcat bundle not working

Q&A
1

Hi guys,

Trying to do a simple installation of the tomcat bundle on a windows machine by following steps here:
http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/tomcat-bundle-1

and ran the tomcat server by executing the startup.bat file in the binary folder.
Navigating to the portal page @ http://localhost:8080/bonita/portal in chrome gives me:

This webpage is not available
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I checked the logs folder in the tomcat bundle but it is empty, so I am at a loss on how to troubleshoot this.
Anyone shed some light on what I can do/where to go next?

Thanks

EDIT:
my os: Windows 8.1
java: 1.8 U 45
tomcat bundle version: BonitaBPMCommunity-6.5.2-Tomcat-7.0.55

While the comment about the link helped, my actual issue was different.

For some reason, running the batch file “startup.bat” in the tomcat bin folder, even as admin, was not working properly.
I was finally able to get it working by copying the content of this file, pasting it into a command prompt window and manually running it from there.

Strange, but now my BPM portal is deployed and running.

Thanks

Hi.
Try the link http://localhost:8080/bonita (without portal).
