Thanks Chuck. All good suggestions, but I _think_ I went through each one
before posting my first message.
Why do you say "catalina.bat"? Did you mean service.bat?
I'm sorry, you are right. Before posting, I stepped through the execution
of BOTH "service.bat install" and "startup.bat". The former is the one that
fails, and since the latter has worked flawlessly from the start, I hoped
that I might find a clue to my problem in comparing the two. startup.bat
DOES call catalina.bat, which is why it was on my mind. But I meant to type
service.bat in my post. Again, sorry for the confusion.
Unfortunately, as I'm sure you know, I discovered that %EXECUTABLE% resolves
to tomcat6.exe in service.bat, but resolves to java.exe in
startup.bat/catalina.bat. So I can't directly compare the command line
parameters. That said, all the paths, etc. in the batch file execution
appear to be correct for my environment.
What are they?
Here is what gets invoked:
"C:\software\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\bin\tomcat6.exe"
//IS//Tomcat6 --StartClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopClass
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams start --StopParams stop
<<<
I infer from reading service.bat that, in addition to the command line
parameters, tomcat6.exe also reads a bunch of environment variables. I
checked how each of these are set by service.bat (before calling
tomcat6.exe); they appear to be correct.
Try commenting out the @echo off at the top of service.bat so you can see
the path it takes through the script.
Hopefully you can see that I've already tried hard to get my answer by doing
that.
Are you positive you're running as administrator?
I can't see why not. I'm logged in as Administrator, and everything else
that requires Administrator permissions works. But I haven't confirmed this
with a process monitor.
Do you already have Tomcat installed as a service? (The service name is
normally 'Tomcat6'.) If so, try removing it first using the Services
snap-in.
I did already check this carefully. I have no service running with the
string 'tomcat' in either the Name or Description field. I do have a *wild*
guess that this problem has something to do with userid that the tomcat
service uses to "Log On As". Usually this is something like, "Local System"
or "Network Service". Perhaps I am not granting needed permissions to some
user?
