    &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot; , serif;"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;
    &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot; , serif;"&gt;I am
      about to update an old 6.1.1 CE-installation to the latest version
      with the intermediate step (7.1.2 GA3) as suggested by the help
      page and need a little help to figure out how to overcome some
      difficulties I am currently facing.&lt;br /&gt; Setup: tomcat 9.0.10
      (from the bundle) with OpenJDK 1.8.0_332 and Postgresql 10.20&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

  &lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;
    &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot; , serif;"&gt;The
      db_update-script finishes with minor warnings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;

​​​​​​​[Elasticsearch initialization thread][EmbeddedElasticsearchConnection:288] Liferay is configured to use embedded Elasticsearch as its search engine. Do NOT use embedded Elasticsearch in production. Embedded Elasticsearch is useful for development and demonstration purposes. Refer to the documentation for details on the limitations of embedded Elasticsearch. Remote Elasticsearch connections can be configured in the Control Panel.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;
    &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot; , serif;"&gt;The
      tomcat does start just fine, however when I push the &amp;quot;Finish
      Configuration&amp;quot;-button on the “Basic Configuration”-page, that
      shows when the tomcat starts automatically, the only thing that
      shows up is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 11.0px;"&gt;
  &lt;span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;
    &lt;span style="line-height: 107.0%;"&gt;
      &lt;span style="font-family: Calibri , sans-serif;"&gt;Sadly the
        tomcat-log does not give any useful information, but “ERROR
        [http-nio-8080-exec-1][status_jsp:872] null”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 11.0px;"&gt;
  &lt;span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;
    &lt;span style="line-height: 107.0%;"&gt;
      &lt;span style="font-family: Calibri , sans-serif;"&gt;Have someone
        faced similar issues and can point me in to the right direction?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 11.0px;"&gt;
  &lt;span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;
    &lt;span style="line-height: 107.0%;"&gt;
      &lt;span style="font-family: Calibri , sans-serif;"&gt;Thx.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</summary>
