Under Windows XP Home, jre1.5.0, tomcat5.5, Oracle9i, JBuilder9 with jdk 1.4, StarTeam:
My problem is with tomcat5.5 installed as a Windows service. It doesn't start. It logs the message: "This release of Apache Tomcat was packaged to run on J2SE 5.0 or later...". I interpret that to mean it has not located the jre1.5.0 home. However, it starts successfully with the startup.bat. My JRE_HOME environment variable is set to c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0, and tomcat5.5 starts successfully using startup.bat. I found by testing and looking in the batch files that setting JAVA_HOME to the jre home did not work - it expects a jdk at the JAVA_HOME location apparently. The tomcat service was installed using "service.bat -install". I tried to get the service to start by doing the following: 1. Set JAVA_HOME to point to the jre1.5.0 home. 2. Modifying the service.bat file to explicitly specify --JAVA_HOME parameter to the jre1.5.0 home. 3. Using "tomcat5 //US// --JAVA_HOME ..." to set the jre1.5.0 home. 4. Searching the registry for JAVA_HOME references that might conflict. Because I have JBuilder9 installed, there are the following registry keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | JavaSoft | Java Development Kit | 1.4 | JavaHome = "C:\Programs\Jbuilder9\jdk1.4" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SOFTWARE|JavaSoft|Java Development Kit|1.4.1|JavaHome = "C:\Programs\Jbuilder9\jdk1.4" 5. Editing the service properties and setting --JAVA_HOME in the startup parameters, but just guessing at the syntax. I have run out of ideas. Does anyone know what might be the problem with running Tomcat5.5 as a service with jre1.5.0? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
