The error I described below was fixed by installing a public JRE. I do not want a public runtime! I want the java installation in c:\java only, NOT in c:\program files\java\j2re1.4.2_03!!!
Developers, please remove this ridiculous dependency. 4.1.28 worked just fine using my single installation at c:\java, but 5.0.18 won't?!?! -----Original Message----- From: Turansky, Mark Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 3:30 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Tomcat 5.0.18 not responding as a Windows Service I installed 5.0.18 on W2K, which automatically sets up Tomcat as a Windows Service. My J2SE 1.4.2 is installed at c:\java and I made the JAVA_HOME environment variable point to this directory. Tomcat is in c:\tomcat, which is also CATALINA_HOME. Tomcat runs fine using 'startup.bat'. When I try running the service, I receive the following error: "Could not start the Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion" The event log contains the following two entries that correspond to the above error: "Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the Apache Tomat service to connect." and "The Apache Tomcat service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion" Note: calling the tomcat executable (c:\tomcat\bin\tomcat.exe) from the command line does nothing. Tomcat does not appear in the task manager. There is no response whatsoever. How do I fix this? Please help.
