Hello all, I have got a support question to which I cannot find a clear answer in online fora.
My TomCat installation won't start anymore. This morning it worked, I ran jsp and servlets, but now it doesnt. I use Windows Vista and Apache Tomcat 6. In the 'services' of windows I tried to manually start tomcat, but I get the following error message: Could not start the Apache Tomcat 6 service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly. in Apache's 'log' folder I find the following entries (repeating endlessly, because I keep on trying! ;-) ) [2009-06-30 11:33:39] [info] Procrun (2.0.4.0) started [2009-06-30 11:33:39] [info] Running Service... [2009-06-30 11:33:39] [info] Starting service... [2009-06-30 11:33:39] [info] Error occurred during initialization of VM [2009-06-30 11:33:39] [info] java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError [2009-06-30 11:33:39] [info] : java/lang/Object What happened in the mean time (between the 'working tomcat' and the 'non-working tomcat'): - I tried to make my first Servlet and need 'javac' for this, so I installed jdk-6u14-windows-i586 - I added the JDK to the PATH variable in Windows environment - I rebooted my system - started Apache TomCat manually (I installed it that way) - AND GOT THE ERROR (1067) - I uninstalled Tomcat (It was very new) - Re-installed Tomcat - The installer asked if Tomcat may start: YES! - The icon appeared in my task bar (right bottom), but stayed red - right mouse on icon 'start service': nothing happens - then again via 'services' of windows and I got the same error message! Does it have to do anything with JDK? During installation Tomcat asks for the JRE / JDK location.. I point this to 1.6 (while it asks for 5).. Is that the problem? What should I do?
