Getting error java.lang.Exception: Unable to initialize and start system: Unable to decode avatar content: Can't create cache file! while Thingworx 8.1 installation

Getting error java.lang.Exception: Unable to initialize and start system: Unable to decode avatar content: Can't create cache file! while Thingworx 8.1 installation

Hi,

I am getting following error while installing Thingworx 8.1.war for postgreSQL on Tomcat 8.0.44 server in my system:

java.lang.Exception: Unable to initialize and start system: Unable to decode avatar content: Can't create cache file!

I installed postgreSQL9.4.5 in my system and done all setups for thingworx perfectly like creation of its tablespace, database and tables. Also I provided full read/write access permission on ThingworxPlatform, ThingworxPostgresqlStorage and ThingworxStorage.

I kept licence binary file under ThingworxPlatform folder. As per stated in Thingworx 8.1 installation guide I downloaded this licence file and made entry for LicensingConnectionSettings in platform-settings.json. (Please find all attachments)

Despite of all these setups I am getting above mentioned error.

Can anyone please help me to fix this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Rohit Kumar Jaiswal

Carles Coll and Hi Himesh,

If I am not wrong we are able to get application logs when Thingworx installed in the system and we work on it. Still I unable to deploy Thingworx 8.1.war on Tomcat 8.0.44 server in my Windows system due to mentioned error in last post.

Anyway I am sanding all log files of tomcat server. I think It may help you.

Thank you

Hi Rohit, I have no experience with 8.X for now, I can't help here, hope in the near future we go onto 8.X.

HI Rohit,

You can check the Thingworx Storage folder for the logs . When the tomcat starts to deploy thingworx.war , the logs are generated .

Thanks,

Prashant Iyer, Hi Himesh,

As requested please find attached ApplicationLog.log of ThingworxStorage logs folder and let me know what I did wrong in this installation. I got stuck due to this.

Thank you in advance for your kind support.
