I am trying to deploy a Spring Boot application in my local Tomcat server. (It has a very old Spring dependency so it needed to be ran as WAR in Tomcat)

I have excluded spring-boot-starter-tomcat from the pom.xml, and made the neccessary changes inside main class (extended SpringBootServletInitializer etc). The Applications runs perfectly when i run it from IntellIJ as a Spring Boot App, but when i deploy it in my local environment (packaging war) it does not run at all.

It simply says that Server Startup at ... like the following image:

Any ideas what might be wrong ? (It doesnt even throw an error at all)

Your web-app has no error. Check your business logic processing in source code.

Apparently for this specific error, the tomcat version played an important role. I checked the Spring Boot Starter Tomcat version which was 8.5.43. The external tomcats on my machine were 9 and 10 (in both it didn't run) so i downloaded 8.5.43, and deployed the war there.

It worked and solved the problem
