Can't start Tomcat5 service on Windows Vista Home Premium
My PC is running the 64 bit version of Windows Visa Home Premium.
I am trying to get Tomcat 5.5.28 up and running. In years past I have been
able to get older versions of Tomcat up and running on various versions of
Windows. But now I am getting an error which I have not previously
encountered.
The problem: at the end of the installation process the installation wizard
asks me if I want to start Tomcat. I select "yes" and click OK to continue.
I receive and error message that simply states:
Windows could not start the Apache Tomcat on Local Computer. For more
information,
review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the
service
vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 0.
I restarted windows and tghen tried to start Tomcat. I received the same
error message.
I used Google to search for people with similar problems and followed the
advice but I was not successful. I tried the following
* I turned off User Account Control
* I modified the firewall setting to allow access to port 8080
I checked the windows system event log and found the following error.
"The Apache Tomcat service terminated with service-specific error (0x0).
The event id asscoiated with this error was 7024. A search of the web turned
up the following description of errfor 7024.
Event ID 7024 - Service Stop Operations
Updated: December 11, 2007
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Service Control Manager (SCM) stops services and driver services. It also
reports when services terminate unexpectedly or fail to restart after it
takes corrective action.
Event Details
Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 7024
Source: Service Control Manager
Version: 6.0
Symbolic Name: EVENT_SERVICE_EXIT_FAILED_SPECIFIC
Message: The %1 service terminated with service-specific error %2.
Resolve
Review the service-specific error information
To resolve this issue, first review the service-specific error code that the
Service Control Manager encountered when trying to stop the service, and
then review the Event logs for other related events that have been logged by
the Service Control Manager (SCM) Eventlog Provider.
To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators, or
you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
Review the service-specific error code
To review the service-specific error code:
Click the Start button, Run, then type cmd to open a command prompt.
Type sc query service_name (where service_name is the name of the service)
at the command prompt to display the service-specific SERVICE_EXIT_CODE
error code that the Service Control Manager encountered when stopping the
service.
Note: If the service was stopped successfully, the SERVICE_EXIT_CODE field
should contain a zero (0). If the service failed to stop when an attempt was
made, this field should contain an exit code provided by the service when it
could not stop.
I found the following text a Tomcat logfile:
[2009-09-06 15:18:15] [info] Starting service...
[2009-09-06 15:18:15] [197 javajni.c] [error] %1 is not a valid Win32
application.
[2009-09-06 15:18:15] [994 prunsrv.c] [error] Failed creating java
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll
[2009-09-06 15:18:15] [1269 prunsrv.c] [error] ServiceStart returned 1
[2009-09-06 15:18:15] [info] Run service finished.
[2009-09-06 15:18:15] [info] Procrun finished.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue ?
Thanks for all your assistance.

i originally ported 32bit JDK/JRE install with same consequences
once I installed 64bit JRE/JDK properly i was able to get TC operational
click on details for %JRE_HOME%/bin/server/jvm.dll and you *should* see 64 bit server VM

The log shows that it's using a 32-bit JVM - C:\Program Files (x86) - so the default tomcat6.exe should work.
I'd suggest downloading the .zip version and verify that Tomcat functions with the installed JVM, and only then trying to install the service with the service.bat script.

Maybe, maybe not. Looking again at the log message it does look more
like a 64-bit issue rather than the JVM issue.

I stand corrected thus. Please ignore my previous answer about the
64-bit tomcatX.exe. Things seem to have moved ahead while I was on
holiday..

This is a 'feature' of newer versions of Java where the required dlls
aren't placed where they are meant to be. I believe there is a fix in
the works in commons-daemon to try and work around this. More details
(including background and workarounds) can be found in the associated JIRA.

Thanks to all who replied to my message. I was able to get Tomcat 6 up and
running by starting it from the command line and for now that is good
enough. I will eventually work on getting it running as a service, but for
now the fact that it is running is satisfactory.

Short answer : see http://tomcat.markmail.org/search/?q=64%20bit
(you probably need the 64-bit tomcatX.exe)
