I've started from scratch on another pc but same problem occurs! Using the "net start Tomcat" gives the following:
The Tomcat service is starting. The Tomcat service could not be started. The service did not report an error. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534. I'm using my own login account as startup instead of the localsystem so the system variables (CATALINA_HOME,CATALINA_BASE and JAVA_HOME) are being used in the same way the startup.bat uses it. Anybody else who can give me some tips pls?

How come you are not using the localsystem account? This could be the problem, but I can't really help as you are not giving any info that I can help you with. My experience with TC is install and it works, no problems, it's not until I start mucking around with config files that stuff goes pear shape. My only suggestion in this case is try from scratch, remove all java, remove tc, and try again. Do you have another machine you can try? Can you fdisk this machine and start from a clean OS install? What about when you use the following command from a cmd prompt: net start "Apache Tomcat 4.1" Other than this info above, I don't know what is wrong and I can't help you unfortunately, Nicholas Orr -----Original Message----- From: Gunter D' Hondt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 16 October 2002 5:51 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: TC4.1.12 on W2K => service doesn't start! Nicholas, During the installation I have included the "NT Service (NT/2k/XP only)" and the service was included but it didn't work at all so I tried re-installing the nt service by using the tomcat.exe -install etc. The service fails to start and no log-files are being made. The service is being starting with the nt login that is logged in and not the localsystem (but this also doesn't work). Any help is welcome pls!

I meant why don't people(everyone) just use jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12.exe Look at the image I included (in screenshot.zip) see there is an option there NT Service (NT/2k/XP only) If you tick that option you have zero problems running TC as a service. >>If the service is started automatically should not be a reason why it doesn't >>start I suppose? I've got it set to "manual" but when setting it to automatically it also doesn't work. Have you had a look at stdout.log, stderr.log, or the other logs under $TC install dir$\logs Nicholas Orr -----Original Message----- From: Gunter D' Hondt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 16 October 2002 5:29 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: TC4.1.12 on W2K => service doesn't start! If the service is started automatically should not be a reason why it doesn't start I suppose? I've got it set to "manual" but when setting it to automatically it also doesn't work. What to you mean by "ticking nt service"? Do you mean "tomcat.exe Tomcat" ?

First check to see if the service is set to start Automatically (Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services) Locate it in the list and in the column "Startup Type" if it doesn't say Automatic, double click on it and in the properties dialog change the start up type to Automatic in the drop down list. But anyway, why don't you install it using the .exe and tick "nt service" makes thing s a lot easier. Hope this helps, if it doesn't then there is something else wrong.

Hi, I've installed Tomcat 4.1.12 on W2k and it runs perfectly when using the startmenu item "start tomcat" but when using the service it doesn't start at all. I've set my system variables and have run the command below and it said "service installed succesfully" but still (even after a reboot) the service won't start. As seen in the list lotsa people are encouraging the same problem but no concrete answer has been given yet that would solve everybodies problem. If I've found a good solution I can make a small doc around it that should be useful for everybody. So any help is welcome pls!
