Summary: Apache service fails to start when using windows service Product: Tomcat 6 Version: 6.0.29 Platform: PC Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Native:Packaging AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org ReportedBy: oldenuf2nobtr2...@yahoo.com I installed the Tomcat 6.0.29 on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit server using the downloaded exe called, apache-tomcat-6.0.29.exe. I am using JDK 6 Update 21. Once installed I tried to start the service through the Windows Service panel and it failed. I was seeing in the jakarta_service log the message stating: prunsrv.c] [error] failed setting process executable. I don't know what this meant. I uninstalled this and cleaned up the Programs Files directory and then I downloading the 64 bit zipped install called, apache-tomcat-6.0.29-windows-x64.zip. I unzipped this and copied the files to a location I wanted and ran the startup.bat. It ran fine. I then tried to run the service.bat and tried to install the service this way. That ran fine but when I tried to run the tomcat6w.exe it failed. I removed the service I added and I stopped tomcat with the shutdown.bat command. I decided to try running the apache-tomcat-6.0.29.exe on top of what I had. This ran successfully. Only then was I able to start the service from the Windows Service panel. I uninstalled everything to double check what I had done and installed Tomcat 6.0.26 with the apache-tomcat-6.0.26.exe to verify I did not have to install anything on top of that and I did not. It just installed and started. So I am not sure what changed or what the problem is in the 6.0.29 exe install that I cannot start the service after using the 6.0.29 exe without installing the files from your zipped up version of Tomcat 6.0.29. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
