Varuna, at this point, (now that you have a correct Windows JAVA_HOME system environment variable set) it may be a good idea to de-install the service and start over. Run service.bat remove, and then re-run service.bat install. That will give us again a cleaner starting point for the registry etc.. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Re: Fwd: Is it not possible to install apache-tomcat-6.0.20 with a J2SE 5 JRE: A new development
Interesting that your subject line says J2SE 5 JRE, when the registered JVM is a JDK 6... Well it's an error I have made it' s got to be without J2SE 5 JRE. When the installation failed , I thought whether it's because I am using Java SE 6, since tomcat documentation says to use an J2SE 5 (Installationhttp://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/installation.html ) No, your previous posting showed Failed setting process executable - which is tomcat6.exe That was when I tried to run tomcat6.exe service runner not when installing.When installing using Windows Service Installer the installation progress dialog box always stopped when it depicted using jvm:C:\Program Files\Java\jdk 1.6_14\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll OR C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\jre\bin\client 1) Verify that the above .dll location does exist and is accessible to the Local System account. jvm.dll do exist, How to verify jvm.dll is accessible to the Local System Account?.I am logged on a administrator account is that what you want to check? 2) Verify that the above JVM does work by entering the following at a command prompt (quotes required):C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\bin\java -server -version The result C:\C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\bin\java -server -version java version 1.6.0_14 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode) 3) Verify that the Local System account has access to the Tomcat installation directory. How do I verify that? 4) Double check that there is no Tomcat service of any kind under any name already installed. I checked about ten times now 5) If you can find another Windows machine that has not been under the influence of Kaspersky, try a Tomcat installation there. Bad Luck, not possible.

Re: Fwd: Is it not possible to install apache-tomcat-6.0.20 with a J2SE 5 JRE: A new development
Varuna, I am not trying to bully you or anything of the kind. I have been watching this thread as a spectator, and I was just trying to convey to you the following : There are people here trying to help you, for free. To be able to do that, they need, at least : - that you provide all relevant information - that when they ask a question, you answer the question This anti-virus thing was valuable information, and it may be at the bottom of your problems. But it took about 10 posts before you mentioned these messages, thus leading several would-be helpers into probably bad directions. Similarly, it looks a bit like every item of information has to be pulled out of you bit by bit. In other words, much of your pain looks self-inflicted. That was the sense of my comment. Which, I admit, was made in a rather sarcastic way, for which I apologise if it shocked you. Now, to redeem myself, here are my suggestions : - turn off any anti-virus or similar software that might be running - de-install whatever Tomcat software you have installed, using the installer/deinstaller package - verify that you do not have any remainders anywhere of these installations (in the Windows Services display, in the disk directory where you installed Tomcat, and in the Start.. Settings.. System ..Software dialog). When everything is clean : - download the zip version of Tomcat for Windows, from the Tomcat website. - unzip it in a directory. I suggest a sensible directory name, without spaces in the name, like c:\tomcat6. This is now your CATALINA_HOME directory (and also, by default, your CATALINA_BASE directory). Remember this, it is important. - in the directory CATALINA_HOME/bin, you will then find a script called startup.bat. Open a command window, navigate to that directory, and run that script. This should start Tomcat, interactively, in that command window. This is only to verify that nothing else is wrong on your system to run Tomcat (like available ports, etc..). - you should now be able to access Tomcat with a browser, at http://localhost:8080; - to stop Tomcat, type CTRL-C in the command window. Once you have done the above, then you can try to install Tomcat as a service. For that, run the script CATALINA_HOME/bin/service.bat install (you can also edit this script, to see what it is doing) When you have run this script, you will have essentially done the same as what the exe installer package for Tomcat is doing. But you will have much more control and understanding of what is going on, and where things may get stuck. You should now be able to start and stop Tomcat using the commands net start tomcat6 net stop tomcat6 (the name tomcat6 above to be replaced by the correct Windows Service name for Tomcat) or by using My Computer..Manage..Services and Applications) If you want, you can then remove the Tomcat service again, by running service.bat remove, and try again to install the whole thing from the exe installer version. Additional information, harder to find in the on-line documentation : - the tomcat6.exe program that comes with the Windows version of Tomcat, is a Windows Service wrapper for Tomcat. It is there because the JVM, on its own, does not handle very well the requirements of Windows Services. So, when later you run Tomcat, you are really running tomcat6.exe, which in turn starts the JVM, which in turn runs Tomcat. This tomcat6.exe wrapper, in order to know which JVM to use with which parameters, takes these parameters from the Windows Registry. How do they get there ? that is the next section. - There is another program in the CATALINA_HOME/bin directory, named tomcat6w.exe (the same name as before, with a w at the end). The tomcat6w.exe is a GUI setup program, whose role is to set up the appropriate parameters in the Windows Registry, so that tomcat6.exe can later find them. You can run tomcat6w.exe by clicking on it, and you will get a window that shows you how to proceed. Basically, the service.bat script, invokes this tomcat6w.exe in command-line mode, and tells it what to do. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Can it be because of Kaspersky setting that I am unable to install Tomcat service? Yes, that is highly probable. I am also using Kaspersky 2009 (as seems you are using), and it asks me to give permission to this setup application to modify system services (I do not remember exact message, and I do not have a copy of it on the PC that I use at this very moment, so it is all from my memory). I always choose allow and in this session and it goes on, but my Kaspersky was installed to run in interactive mode (ask the user about its decisions), and I do not know about your settings. I do not know, maybe you already clicked the forbid item when you were asked, or maybe it did not ask you at all. In any case, Kaspersky can be temporarily disabled from menu that pops up when you right-click its icon in the tray, or from its configuration dialog.

Please read the whole story behind and reply without bulling.I am trying to figure out what is the cause for not being able to install Tomcat as a service when JRun can be .My guess was is Kaspersky blocking Tomcat setup since Kaspersky prompted for user's approval after clicking Retry several times, that too was only for a single step as depicted in the installation progress bar.I stopped Kaspersky and tried to install But that too was failed.

I wonder why you want to install tomcat as a service.In my mind,java is green software,and I always download a .zip or .gz file,and get it run in a specific folder,I think that will help to easy manage things. hope no bother. thanks. 2009/7/22 Varuna Seneviratna varunasenevira...@gmail.com Please read the whole story behind and reply without bulling.I am trying to figure out what is the cause for not being able to install Tomcat as a service when JRun can be .My guess was is Kaspersky blocking Tomcat setup since Kaspersky prompted for user's approval after clicking Retry several times, that too was only for a single step as depicted in the installation progress bar.I stopped Kaspersky and tried to install But that too was failed.
