Thanks, but my registry setting for \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Tomcat5 Start *IS* set to 0x02.
Also, having to mess with registry settings is not a very "clean" install, imho. Reinstalling J2SE 1.4.2 with a public runtime worked. 4.1.28 worked without having a public runtime. I had to alter the registry for that installation too. I pointed the registry setting to JAVA_HOME at c:\java. The installer for 5.0.18 correctly found my JRE in JAVA_HOME (c:\java), but it didn't want to play nicely with it. It still required me to have the public runtime in c:\program files\java\jre... -----Original Message----- From: Clay Hensley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 4:19 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat 5.0.18 not responding as a Windows Service I recently ran into the same problem on a Windows XP machine. I tried everything I could find in the archives: use the EXE installer, use the ZIP package and run SERVICE install to create the service. I installed, uninstalled, and re-installed multiple times. Fortunately I had a second machine that was working to compare to. I found my answer in the registry. In \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Tomcat5 the start key was set to a value of 0x03. I set the value to what the working machine uses: 0x02 (I think this corresponds to Automatic startup in the Services applet under Control Panel). I rebooted and like magic everything worked. I can even change the Tomcat service from automatic to manual and it still works. HTH.

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.
