Hi amashi,

Can you please, look at wrapper.log, located in <vco_install_folder>/app-server/server/vmo/bin

The reason for failure should be logged there

Regards

Ivan

Can you please, attach also server.log. In wrapper log there are no errors that can point to the problem

Thanks

Hi,

I'm not the "Guru" of logfiles...but I can see the following error in the log:

Maybe you should have a look to your vCO-Configuration and correct the missing settings.

Evaluation license is not a problem.

Can you attached configuration log as well?

It is located in <vco-install-folder>/configuration/jetty/jetty.log

Lets see if there is a clue about the problem

I looked at log and I found out that certificate that is loaded from a file is not accepted:

because of that i suspect that vco is not able to connect to authorization and cannot start.

You can try import certificates from URL and see if this will fix the problem.
