Service automatically shuts down on Windows Server 2003
I apologize for not doing as much homework as usual before posting a question. Google turned up nothing helpful, the mailing list archive search isn't working right now, and we're (of course) in a hurry. We've had Tomcat 5.0.19 working on a number of Windows machines for a while, running on Win2K and WinXP under j2sdk1.4.2_04 Yesterday we had to install it on a Windows Server 2003 machine, and it's not working as a service. If we run it from the shell, it works fine, but when we try to start it as a service, it starts up and shuts right back down with a Windows message that some services don't stay running if they have no work to do. Is there something obvious I should be doing? Or something less than obvious? Even something obscure? :-) I've never had any Tomcat problems; it's a great tool that has always just worked for me. But that means I don't really even know where to begin looking to solve this. Are others successfully running Tomcat on Windows Server 2003?

That usually happens when there is something wrong with the directory paths, there could be a space somewhere causing problems or something similar so have a look at the properties of the service and se eif it's pointing to the right spot. Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be it. The service is looking at C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin\tomcat.exe //RS//Tomcat5 which is correct. I don't know what the parameter //RS//Tomcat5 is for but it matches what's working on other machines. Also the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME enviroment variables are correct. The actual text of the error message is The Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performace Logs and Alerts service. I'm not finding anything in the Tomcat logs, which makes me suspect that Tomcat is not in fact actually starting, but I don't know how to tell for sure.

There can be two reasons. Java is wrongly installed (missing jre from Registry?) Account used for running Tomcat as service has no access to Tomcat folder. Java seems to be okay. I'm going to have some network folks check out the latter. Thanks for your help. -- Scott - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On winblows, spaces in variables in CLASSPATH, PATH... tend to cause problems and the killer is, not on every installation of the same version of winblows. Try reinstalling to a path containing no spaces and reset your env vars. Like the following: Instead of your path: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin\tomcat.exe try something like: C:\Program Files\Apache_Software_Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin\tomcat.exe Okay, thanks. We'll try that too... Who am I kidding? We'll try *anything*! :-) Thank you for your help. -- Scott - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
