Troubleshoot a failed installation

If the installation of IXIA CCMS Web Server was not successful, you must address the issues and run the installation script again.

To troubleshoot a failed installation:

  1. Resolve errors:
    1. In the location where you extracted the package, open the installation.log file in a text editor.
      If the installation.log file does not exist, ensure that the installation directory did not have a space in its name.
    2. Look for the Error messages.
    3. Fix the issues.
  2. Delete the Tomcat service, if it was installed.
