I have found this to occur if JDK is not installed correctly. Try going to C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01\bin\client and see if there is a jvm.dll file there. If there is not then uninstall the JDK, delete the Java folder and reinstall. If the jvm.dll is there then uninstall the JDK and remove the Java folder and reinstall. Sometimes the dll's do not get registered correctly. Also in your Environment Variables make sure your path has this included: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_01\bin, well before any Tomcat path statements. Also make sure that the JAVA_HOME, TOMCAT_HOME and CATALINA_HOME are all under the system variables and not the user variables.
Keep in mind that your vesion of JDK will determine the correct syntax.

I can start tomcat manually or from Start menu, but I get this in the event log when I start it as a service: "The LoadLibrary function failed for the following reason: The specified module could not be found. Could not load the Java Virtual Machine. " I don't know why this is happening. JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME are set correctly. I'm using the service as configured by the installer. Just to be sure, I did chmod 777 on the j2sdk and jre java trees. I'm stumped. My only guess is that there must be something funky with the local system account that runs services, but I can't see what. -- Seth --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
