FIX THIS! Bad dependency is culprit -> Tomcat 5.0.18 not responding as a Windows Service

["Turansky, Mark" <mt...@axiom-rm.com>]

The error I described below was fixed by installing a public JRE.

I do not want a public runtime!  I want the java installation in c:\java only, NOT in c:\program files\java\j2re1.4.2_03!!!

Developers, please remove this ridiculous dependency.  4.1.28 worked just fine using my single installation at c:\java, but 5.0.18 won't?!?!

Subject: Tomcat 5.0.18 not responding as a Windows Service


I installed 5.0.18 on W2K, which automatically sets up Tomcat as a Windows Service.  My J2SE 1.4.2 is installed at c:\java and I made the JAVA_HOME environment variable point to this directory.  Tomcat is in c:\tomcat, which is also CATALINA_HOME.

Tomcat runs fine using 'startup.bat'.

When I try running the service, I receive the following error:

"Could not start the Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"


The event log contains the following two entries that correspond to the above error:


"Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the Apache Tomat service to connect."
 
and 
 
"The Apache Tomcat service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"


Note:  calling the tomcat executable (c:\tomcat\bin\tomcat.exe) from the command line does nothing.  Tomcat does not appear in the task manager.  There is no response whatsoever.

How do I fix this?  Please help.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
