Hi all,
I have a web app using tomcat 5.5.9 as app server. All works well in 32-bit
OS. But now I have to support this app running on 64-bit OS. So I change the JDK
to use a 64-bit version(jdk1.5.0_22). All works well, but when I run tomcat as a
service, it fails.
Can anybody help?
5.5.9 is very old and has a number of known security vulnerabilities.
You should consider upgrading.
The architecture of the service wrapper must match the architecture of
the JVM so you'll need the 64-bit service wrapper. You can get that from
the latest commons-daemon download.
More details, and non-official shortcut :
If you must absolutely stay with your current Tomcat 5.5.x, then :
- download the Tomcat 5.5.31 *Core, zip version* of Tomcat 5.5.31 from here
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi
- unzip it to a temporary directory
- in the subdirectory bin/x64, there are 2 files : tomcat5.exe and
tcnative-1.dll.
These are the only 2 files that change for the 64-bit version.
On your 64-bit system, copy them over the same files in the /bin subdirectory,
and that's it.
*BUT* as Mark says, it would be much better to start with a current 6.0 version,
downloadable from here :
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi
Download the *Core, 32/64-bit Windows Installer*
and install it on your 64-bit machine. The installer will automatically detect the type
of machine and install the correct version of the above files.
*Then*, when the 64-bit version of Tomcat 6.0 is running, make the changes you need to
that version, to run your applications.
Do not copy your configuration files from Tomcat 5.5.x to the 6.0.x
installation.
Start from the 6.0.x files, and make the changes in them if needed.
