I have tried installing tomcat 8.0.30 from below location: http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.0.30/bin/apache-tomcat-8.0.30-windows-x64.zip
JDK Used from below location http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html jdk-8u66-windows-x64.exe Environment - Windows 7, JDK 1.8. I haven't added any jars/application and other modifications in tomcat configuration but the Tomcat startup fails with same error as earlier, errors as below: Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Server version: Apache Tomcat/8.0.30 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Server built: Dec 1 2015 22:30:46 UTC Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Server number: 8.0.30.0 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: OS Name: Windows 7 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: OS Version: 6.1 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Architecture: amd64 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Java Home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\jre Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: JVM Version: 1.8.0_66-b18 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: JVM Vendor: Oracle Corporation Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: CATALINA_BASE: C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-8.0.30-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-8.0.30 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: CATALINA_HOME: C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-8.0.30-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-8.0.30 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Command line argument: -Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-8.0.30-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-8.0.30\conf\logging.properties Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Command line argument: -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Command line argument: -Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-8.0.30-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-8.0.30\endorsed Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Command line argument: -Dcatalina.base=C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-8.0.30-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-8.0.30 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Command line argument: -Dcatalina.home=C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-8.0.30-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-8.0.30 Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener log INFO: Command line argument: -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-8.0.30-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-8.0.30\temp Jan 20, 2016 5:38:13 PM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener lifecycleEvent INFO: Loaded APR based Apache Tomcat Native library 1.1.33 using APR version 1.5.1.
