I went to service and right clicked Apache Tomcat 6.Then on the general tab
of the dialog box
"Path to Executable" was pointing to a wrong location.It was "C:\Program
Files\Apache Software Foundation\........tomcat6.exe" //RS//Tomcat6.I tried
to edit it But it was not possible so I went to Windows registry and under
"services" I selected tomcat6 it displayed some values But it contained a
path (well it was just instinct)named imagePath, I modified it to point to
the correct location(C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\tomcat6.exe).Now the "Path
to Executable" in services points to the right location .But when tried to
start the service through services Apache Tomcat 6 a message box comes up,
it says that 1 Windows was unable to start the service, 2 go to Event
Viewer, 3 refer service specific error code 0.
In the Event Viewer the Error Properties
contained
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7024
Date: 24/07/2009
Time: 10:49:45

Computer: VARUNA
Description:
The Apache Tomcat 6 service terminated with service-specific error 0 (0x0).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at

I went to the location refereed in the Error Properties by clicking the
error property boxe's description section for more infoormation and it is

To display the service-specific error code in the Service_Exit_Code field,
at the command line, type

As instructed in the above I opened a console window and typed "sc query
Tomcat6" the result is
C:\>sc query Tomcat6
SERVICE_NAME: Tomcat6
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS

WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 1066 (0x42a)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
The SERVICE_EXIT_CODE is 0 (0x0) what does that mean is left to find out.I
am working on it

I checked "startup.bat" it does not contain "JAVA_HOME" But it does contain
"%CATALINA_HOME%", I am not aware how .bat file scripts work well as you
said I will explore how and what this means
Anyway, now seems the appropriate time to see what our friend the
"tomcat6w.exe" program has to say. Remember, this is the GUI program that
allows you to examine (and change) the Registry parameters that are used by
tomcat6.exe when it tries to run the JVM and Tomcat.
Look at the various tabs there, and try to find something which does not
fit.
We cannot really help you there, because of course this is only on your syst
For example, on my Windows XP station, I have this under the "Java" tab :
Java Virtual Machine : C:\Java6jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
Java classpath : C:\Tomcat5.5\bin\bootstrap.jar
etc..
all of these paths should be correct of course.
What do yours look like ?
In my "tomcat6.exe" in the Java tab there was no Java Classpath I pointed
it to
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\bootstrap.jar and Java Virtual Machine is
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll
In the startup and shutdown tabs the working path just as was "Path to
Excecutable" pointing to a location false location, I changed it and now
Working Path is
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20
In the General tab "Path to Excecutable was wrong and as described above I
corrected it and now it is "C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\tomcat6.exe"
\\RS\\Tomcat6
Thanks
