Like double-clicking on the startup.sh script?<br /><br /><br />Try launching from the terminal by cd'ing into the tomcat/bin folder and issuing "./startup.sh" to see what happens. If there is no log, it may be failing even before tomcat is given a chance to start.David H Nebinger2020-02-10T14:02:33ZRE: How to install on MacOS?

Maybe they contain some useful information.<br />- Maybe the ports are in use? Could you check?<br />On Linux I would use e.g. "netstat -tulpn" to get a list. Look for 8080, 8009, 8005. If these ports are already in use, you would either need to stop the services using them or change the Liferay tomcat server.xml to use other, free ports.<br />- Maybe try to remove the whole Liferay folder and unpack it scratch. Maybe something broke when you tried to get it running.Christoph Rabel2020-02-10T11:38:02ZRE: How to install on MacOS?

When you are in the terminal and issue the ./startup.sh from the tomcat/bin folder, do you get any output in the terminal? Is there anything in tomcat's logs/catalina.out?<br /><br /><br />We'll need more context to understand what you're seeing and help resolve the issue...David H Nebinger2020-02-01T17:44:38ZRE: How to install on MacOS?
