Tomcat as a Service

[Anca Barbuc <an...@newyyz.com>]

 

Hi, 

I am having a problem with starting Tomcat as a service. 

Here are some of the details of the environment: 
       Tomcat 5 
        OS: MS Windows Server 2003 SP 1 
        Ram: 960 
        JDK: jdk1.5.0_07 

If i start it manually with the starttom.bat it works. 
If I go and try service install and then go to Administrative Tools and 
services and try to start the servic it  will not work. 

I get the following error: 
Could not start Apache Tomcat Service on local computer 

>>   Error 1053: The service did not respond to start or control request 
>>   in a timely manner. 

Any help would be great. 
Thanks 
ab

I would suggest you use
http://people.apache.org/~fhanik/wrapper.html

with that kit, comes a script called TomcatService.bat, this is the same 
as you would have started it as a service and you can troubleshoot.
This also lets you control a few more options and settings, as well as 
generate thread dumps
