Fwd: Unable to start tomcat as a service.

[akshay jain]

Hi,

I downloaded *apache-tomcat-7.0.52-windows-x64.zip* from the apache
website.
I am running windows 7 64 bit operating system.

I have setup the file setenv.bat file and apache starts without any problem
when started using startup.bat script.

To run apache as a windows service I did the following steps:
1. Extracted the zip to location C:\tmp
2. Opened command line in the said folder and ran command :
                                 "tomcat7 //IS//"
3. Then ran command :
                                  "sc start tomcat7"

Following was the output :

C:\tmp\apache-tomcat-7.0.52\bin>tomcat7.exe //IS//

C:\tmp\apache-tomcat-7.0.52\bin>sc start tomcat7

SERVICE_NAME: tomcat7
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 2  START_PENDING
                                (NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE,
IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x7d0
        PID                : 1848
        FLAGS              :

C:\tmp\apache-tomcat-7.0.52\bin>sc query tomcat7

SERVICE_NAME: tomcat7
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 1  STOPPED
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 1066  (0x42a)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 1  (0x1)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

C:\tmp\apache-tomcat-7.0.52\bin>


Am I missing anything. Please help.
