Hi,
I trying to follow the instructions for installing Tomcat 3.3 as
an NT Service
on an NT Server 4 SP6A system.
I'm encountering a problem with I think relates to my syntax in the
wrapper.properties
file, as the installation directory for my tomcat has a space in it.
I originally coded the two key definitions in the wrapper.properties file
as :-
wrapper.tomcat_home=G:\Apache Group\jakarta-tomcat-3.3
wrapper.java_home=g:\jdk1.3.1_02
As this is where I have installed the Tomcat and JDK code respectively.
When I try to start the tomcat service, I get 'Tomcat Failed to start', and
in the jvm.stderr file in the logs directory, I have the message :-
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Group\jakarta-tomcat-3/3\lib\tomcat/jar
Exception in thread "main"
>From this I deduced, possibly erroneously, that the space in the directory
path for Tomcat
was causing the problem.
However, I have tried every combination of quotes I can think of to enclose
the
tomcat_home directory, and they all lead to a Tomcat Failed To Start
message, and
this time no logs either.
Can you help me with the coding of wrapper.properties to get this to work ?
I tried
searching on the jakarta site and the general web I didn't find anything
that helped.
The only worked examples of a wrapper.properties file I found all used
directory
names with no spaces in them.
I guess I could start again by uninstalling tomcat and all my webapps and
install
tomcat in a directory with no spaces, but I would really rather
not..........................
Needless to say, everything works just fine running the startup.bat file,
but I would
prefer to run this as a service, as it makes the system bootup automation
easier, as
I can establish dependencies between services, and also monitoring is
easier for services.
