Tomcat startup issue

[da...@comcast.net]

I have installed Tomcat 5.5 on a Windows 2003 box. I have it installed as a service and need to use to the -security option but it's failing on startup. 



I've opened "Apache Tomcat Properties", selected the Startup tab and appended 

-security to start, so the Arguments are set to: 

start -security 



I select Apply and Ok then try to start the server. In my catalina.log I see the following error: 



Feb 3, 2009 2:02:36 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap main 
WARNING: Bootstrap: command "start -security" does not exist. 



My service is set up with: 

"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin\tomcat5.exe" //RS//Tomcat5 



And my catalina.properties in my C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf directory. 



I've done some Googling and I'm not finding much. Anyone have an suggestions on how to fix this? 



Thanks, 

-Dan

Actually, no I didn't need to. It seems to work without the double quotes. But I agree with you, it's better to do the install in a directory without spaces.

And, just by curiosity, did you have to quote the "\Program Files\" or not ?

That's wrong; the -security option is for the startup.bat (and catalina.bat) scripts, not for the Bootstrap class.  Undo what you did, then use the tomcat5w.exe program in Tomcat's bin directory (not the Windows services snap-in), go to the Java tab, and enter this in Java Options: 

-Djava.security.policy=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\catalina.policy 

(All on one line, of course.)  Not sure if you need quotes around the value; I try to avoid having spaces in path names, for fairly obvious reasons.
