Windows Service won't launch
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
All,
I'm upgrading a client's system from Tomcat 7 to Tomcat 8 as part of a
new release of our software. I've got Tomcat 8 installed using the
32-bit ZIP file, and the Windows Services have been re-created from
scratch using tomcat8w.exe. They are running 64-bit Windows but a
32-bit JVM.
When I try to launch the service, I get an error "Incorrect function"
in the event log, and the service does not start. I can launch Tomcat
from the command-line successfully, so this is not a problem with
Tomcat per se, nor my application. It's got to be a problem with my
configuration of the Windows Service.
I'm tempted to tell them "Install a 64-bit JVM" and use the 64-bit
service-runner, but I'd prefer to get it working before I tell them
they have to change everything ;)
Any suggestions for what to look for?
Thanks,
- -chris

I'd check first for incorrectly-delimited parameters in the service
definition. Missing quotes or some such thing. I would have said in
any .properties .cfg or .ini files, but you say it runs ok from the cmd
line. I've seen this error before, but can't recall the exact
circumstances at the moment.

I just tried the following.
Windows 7 64 bit OS
x86 jdk1.8.0.92
I ran service.bat for Tomcat 8.0.33 32 bit. (Tomcat 32 bit, jvm 32 bit)
No problems starting the service.
Windows 7 64 bit OS
x86 jdk1.8.0.92
I ran service.bat for Tomcat 8.0.33 64 bit. (Tomcat 64 bit, jvm 32 bit)
Incorrect Function in event viewer when trying to start the service.

And I'm reading your statement above which says your environment is 32 bit
for both Tomcat 8 and the jvm. Interesting.
I've never installed windows services using the Tomcat8w.exe directly on
the command line. I've always used the service.bat, but I take all the
defaults in service.bat.
And off-topic speaking of defaults, in service.bat, why aren't these values
the same?
--JvmMs 128
--JvmMx 256
