First let me say that I want to update to version 7, I haven't done that yet so this has no correlation to version 7.

We have had this issue in the past and were able to correct it. In the past we changed the port to 8000 for the Aware IM server and tried to start the control panel which would generally time out, however when you went back to port 9000 it would generally start. This time is different and it is not starting at all.

We changed Aware IM memory to 2048 in case memory had been exceeded. We then got the Virtual Server problem so we updated JDK and included the tools.jar in the Tomcat Lib file. Now we don't get the error for the Virtual Server.
We do still have the issue of the AwareIM server starting
