title: Tomcat won't start, no error provided (Windows 7)
body: <p>I've got a fresh installation of Tomcat 7.0.56. When I run startup.bat (As administrator or not), I got the following message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Using CATALINA_BASE:   "C:\uPortal_test\apache-tomcat-7.0.56"
      Using CATALINA_HOME:   "C:\uPortal_test\apache-tomcat-7.0.56"
      Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "C:\uPortal_test\apache-tomcat-7.0.56\temp"
      Using JRE_HOME:        "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_71"
      Using CLASSPATH:       "C:\uPortal_test\apache-tomcat-7.0.56\bin\bootstrap.jar;C
      :\uPortal_test\apache-tomcat-7.0.56\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And that's it. The console closes instantly.
  I followed this <a href="https://www.unicon.net/content/build-install-run-uportal-41" rel="noreferrer">Tutorial</a></p>
  
  <p>I set CATALINA_HOME at the beginning of startup.bat, just in case, but it should not be necessary</p>
