We normally start it via the Tomcat monitor, but of course that isn't working. So, from the command line in the "bin" directory, we are running, simply, "tomcat7.exe".... and it is from that we see the message. Now that I take a closer look at the bin dir... there isn't a "startup.bat".

Right. Then, in short : run "tomcat7w.exe", which should be there. That's a GUI which allows to edit parameters stored in the Registry, for the "Tomcat JVM wrapper" which is "tomcat7.exe". In one of the tabs, there should be the path of the JVM to run, and that's probably what is wrong. Rectify it and retry tomcat7.exe.

I'm not familiar with Tomcat7, but that's how it used to be for 5 and 6.

 From where did you download / install it ?
How did you install it ?

We copied the msvcr71.dll into the bin directory, and have Java
1.6.0_23-b05 64 bit.

Tomcat doesn't start,

How do you start it ?

and all we get from it is:
Service 'tomcat7' is missing the ImageFile

Where do you get that message ?

Presuming it is installed as a Windows Service, what does the Windows "Services applet" show for this service ? (as an executable file)

If you open a command window and navigate to Tomcat's installation directory, and enter "bin/starstup.bat", what do you see ?


None of the normal Tomcat logs are written even with debug set on, so
it's clear the basics of Tomcat can't seem to get going...

Any ideas are appreciated.

Joe
