Andre:
I edited the service.bat, only part that had to be added was "echo
Using %EXECUTABLE%:"
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin>service.bat install
Installing the service 'Tomcat6' ...
Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20
Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14
Using JVM: C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
Using C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\tomcat6.exe:
"C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\tom
cat6.exe" //IS//Tomcat6 --StartClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
--Sto
pClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams start
--StopParams st
op
The service 'Tomcat6' has been installed.
I copied and pasted the path to the "JAVA_HOME" may be that's what made the
difference this time.But if JAVA_HOME was pointed to the wrong path how
could it be started in a non service mode.Now "apache tomcat6" is in the
services list But can not be started.When tried to start
the message is "Error 3: The system can not find the path specified".The
"Using JVM" earlier was C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll and now it has become
jre\bin\server\jvm.dll.In both these locations there is a jvm.dll
In the Event Viewer under system the message was
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000
Date: 23/07/2009
Time: 16:52:44
User: N/A
Computer: VARUNA
Description:
The Apache Tomcat 6 service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
When given the long command
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin>"tomcat6.exe" //IS//%SERVICE_NAME% --StartClass
org.
apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopClass
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootst
rap --StartParams start --StopParams stop
The above command displayed a message box with a big Red X round shape
mark(What do you call it?), titled "Application System" and it's message
was nonAlpha 37
Thanks for your help
