In the tab box that pops up when tomcat6w.exe is double clicked, I have (it was not there initially) specified Java Classpath as C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\bootstrap.jar, if so why does the log file at C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\logs\jakarta_service_20090724.log have an entry saying "Failed loading main class C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\bootstrap.jar" In my Apache Tomcat 6 properties tab box in the Startup tab the entry class and image has no entries what should they be Varuna 2009/7/24 Varuna Seneviratna <varunasenevira...@gmail.com> > I went to service and right clicked Apache Tomcat 6.Then on the general tab > of the dialog box > "Path to Executable" was pointing to a wrong location.It was "C:\Program > Files\Apache Software Foundation\........tomcat6.exe" //RS//Tomcat6.I tried > to edit it But it was not possible so I went to Windows registry and under > "services" I selected tomcat6 it displayed some values But it contained a > path (well it was just instinct)named imagePath, I modified it to point to > the correct location(C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\tomcat6.exe).Now the "Path > to Executable" in services points to the right location .But when tried to > start the service through services Apache Tomcat 6 a message box comes up, > it says that 1 Windows was unable to start the service, 2 go to Event > Viewer, 3 refer service specific error code 0. > In the Event Viewer the Error > Properties contained > > Event Type: Error > Event Source: Service Control Manager > Event Category: None > Event ID: 7024 > Date: 24/07/2009 > Time: 10:49:45 > User: N/A > Computer: VARUNA > Description: > The Apache Tomcat 6 service terminated with service-specific error 0 (0x0). > > For more information, see Help and Support Center at > http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. > > I went to the location refereed in the Error Properties by clicking the > error property boxe's description section for more infoormation and it is > > > Details *Product:* Windows Operating System *ID:* 7024 *Source:* Service > Control Manager *Version:* 5.2 *Symbolic Name:* > EVENT_SERVICE_EXIT_FAILED_SPECIFIC *Message:* The %1 service terminated > with service-specific error %2.
