Hi There,

Hopefully someone can help, I have installed Ignition 8.1 on a Industrial PC with Windows 10, And I can’t get the gateway to open in the webbrowser. I get a title in the tab saying “Gateway not Running”, and on the window just get stuck with “Gateway Starting Up” . I restarted the Ignition Service and nothing.  
I attached the Log Wrapper and the Ignition\_conf file, please someone with similar or same issue, could help me? Really really appreciate! thanks!

there are a lot of errors and exceptions in there. it looks like the most recent is due to a trust store issue. Within the install dir go to `lib/runtime` and delete the `jre-win` directory and then try to start the gateway. The jre will be extracted again with a clean trust store

I just run into this same issue this morning. My wrapper log looks similar, I removed the jre-win directory, but when I try to restart the gateway I get “A service specific error occurred: 1.” and it doesn’t extract a new jre-win folder. I restore the deleted jre-win folder and the gateway starts successfully but still the same issue connecting with browser and designer.

If you’ve installed Ignition and are starting it as a service (the typical configuration), then starting/stopping the service directly (via `services.msc`, for example) will not trigger an extraction of the JRE runtime. Easiest method is to remove that `jre-win` directory again and this time start the service via the `start-ignition.bat` file in `C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition` folder. This will look for the runtime, extract if needed, and then start the service for you. From this point forward, you’ll again be able to use the _Services_ controls directly.
