I managed to figure out that i have 2 identical tomcat directories on my VPS (1 in the plesk folder and 1 in the Aware im folder) and i tried changing the port on the wrong "server.xml" file before. I played around a bit but haven´t found the solution yet. I managed to get the Tomcat status in the server startup dialog to shot "Active and functional" after changing some of the ports in the "server.xml" document but it still doesn´t work. I can open up the configuration tool but when i try to open up my webbrowser and "operation" i get a tomcat error message.
I am not comfortable changing configuration files when i don´t know what i´m doing ("server.xml"). Could you please advise support? I have restored the default "server.xml" file so now i´m back at my original issue. I will post my tomcat error logfile + the "server.xml" file below.
Tomcat log file (from Aware im startup dialog "View output":
