Building on what @babitakumari mentioned, it’s also worth checking the Java version compatibility."* Sometimes, the “could not create the Java Virtual Machine” error occurs due to an incompatible Java version. To verify, run:

java -version

Ensure your Tomcat version supports the installed JDK version. If they are mismatched, you might need to:

  • Install a compatible JDK version.
  • Or, update your JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the correct JDK path.

Version mismatches are a sneaky cause of this error, so it’s worth double-checking.
