Tomcat as an NT service again...

[Mike Welch <mw...@sangereby.com>]

Configuration: 

Win NT 4 sp6a
Tomcat 3.2.4
JDK 1.3.1_02
IIS
Javaservice.exe

Tomcat is running great when I use "startup.bat" interactively.

I've spent two days trying to figure out how to run Tomcat has a
service.  I've read every single post I could find.  Mostly
I've read other people describing the same problem that I have
encountered.  However, very few times to I see a solution posted.
Hopefully, this time it will be different.

I've tried jk_nt_service, that didn't work.  I've gone through the
steps about 10 times.

I'm now focusing on getting javaservice.exe to work, since it
seems to work better with JDK 1.3.1. (when you log out)

(http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/documentation.html)

Here is the command I'm using to install the service : 

c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\bin\javaservice.exe -install Tomcat
c:\jdk1.3.1_02\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll
-Djava.class.path=c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\lib\webserver.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\lib\jasper.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\lib\jaxp.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\lib\parser.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\lib\ant.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\lib\servlet.jar;c:\jdk1.3.1_02\lib\tools.jar
-Dtomcat.home=c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4 -start
org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat -params -config
c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\conf\server.xml -stop
org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat -params -stop -config
c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\conf\server.xml -out
c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\logs\stdout.log -err
c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\logs\stderr.log

The only message I receive is : 
		
	The service was successfully installed.

I wouldn't be surprized if there was a problem with this statement,
but I've looked through it several times and don't see anything wrong.

When I goto the services control panel and try to start the service,
I receive the error : 

	Could not start the Tomcat service on \\MACHINE
	Error 2140: An internal Windows NT error occurred.

The event viewer shows " Could not call the start method "

In the error log "c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.4\logs\stderr.log"

	at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.execute(Tomcat.java:178)
	at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.main(Tomcat.java:240)

Can anyone explain this error?

Any suggestion for getting this to work?

Thanks,

Mike
