Tomcat Service is stopped automatically???
Hi,
I have a problem with tomcat 4.1.27.
Operating system is Windows2000.
I am running tomcat as a window service.
The problem is tomcat service is automatically stopped.There is no clues
found in logs and what be the best solution for it.Please suggest any good
methods other than Tomcat upgradation to higher version...
Regards,
Thangavel Sankaranarayanan

That is not very useful, is it ?
At least, it eliminates one thing : that some other service or program
(or user) would have nicely asked the Tomcat service to shut down.
Have you checked the "Application" log (in the same area as the Windows
System log) ?
Apart from all that, there is another possibility, but you will have to
go check in the Windows Registry.
You can open a Windows "command window" (also called sometimes "DOS
window") and run Tomcat at the command-line, instead of as a service.
Chances are that if it crashes nastily, it will then show some error
messages on the screen.
To do this, follow these steps :
1) edit the Windows Registry with the "Registry Editor" (at the
command-level, enter "regedt32").
Be careful not to change any value, because editing the Registry is
potentially dangerous.
2) This looks like an Explorer window. On the left side, you will see a
structure, much like a directory structure.
Find the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", expand it, and keep doing this
following the following path :
System..CurrentControlSet..Services..Tomcatx
3) when you click on the Tomcat key, then in the right panel you will
see a series of key/value things.
One of the keys is "ImagePath". Double-click on it, and it will open a
dialog box.
4) Now make sure that you do not change the value. Just copy it with
CTRL-C, then cancel and exit the Registry Editor.
What you have copied, is the command.line command that starts Tomcat.
Don't lose it.
Open Notepad, and paste the command there, you will need it later.
5) next, stop the Tomcat Service if it is running.
6) next, open a command window again, and paste the command that you
have copied before.
(If the command contains a parameter like "//RS....", remove this
parameter).
When you type the return key, this command will be executed, and this
will run Tomcat in your command window.
If you type CTRL-C, Tomcat will stop.
For the users, it will be exatly the same as if Tomcat was running as a
service. But for you, you will see on the screen any error messages
Tomcat prints.
The difference is that now Tomcat runs under the user-id under which you
are logged-in on this machine.
So, let it run until it dies, and let's see if you get any error message.
Note that you cannot logoff from the machine, or of course Tomcat will die.
Below is an example of what I get in the command window when I run
Tomcat (in this case, version 5.5) in the window :

The obvious approach would be to use the console RDC session (mstsc /console or mstsc /admin depending on which version of the client you have). The console session is never reset due to a connection timeout. Of course, this assumes you have credentials to log in to the system console and are willing to keep it logged in!

At this stage, I'm not quite sure anymore, because I don't have a Tomcat
4.1 system to compare this with. So I'm working from memory.
Try this :
Supposing you can find the top directory where Tomcat was installed.
It may be something like c:\Programs\Apache Group\Tomcat4.1, or
C:\Tomcat4 or whatever.
Under that directory should be a sub-directory bin, with some programs
in it, and maybe some ".bat" or ".cmd" files.
(With Tomcat 5, there are just 2 programs "tomcat5.exe" and
"tomcat5w.exe", and I used the tomcat5.exe in my previous example.)
But I believe that in Tomcat4.x, there is a command-file called
"startup.bat".
If so, then :
- anyway stop the Tomcat service
- open a command window, and go to the Tomcat/bin directory
- type : startup.bat
To stop Tomcat later, just type a CTRL-C in the window.
(And restart the service if needed).

... its a hellava Thang! you got there hey ;)
Thang it sounds like it used to work... its an old established system and
now you getting the once a day crash...
It may be a real troublesome thing... like some bad memory... but its more
likely some application that your client has just installed...
Some more guesses for u....
Some idiot has put a game on the machine..
Someone has put Skype on the machine..
The admin guys have done an antivrus upgrade, and the thing runs once a day
and screws TC...
A new webapp is calling thru a bad ODBC driver and its messing with TC...
They've applied a new security pack to the machine and the firewall is
giving TC a hard time...
The admin guy has a scheduled thing going and one of the apps is stealing
TC's port...
You have a webapp that does something crazy like call system.exit...
Also normally in those MS system error files theres a little obscure code...
a number.... you can look those up on the MS dev sites... may help your
detective work.
My guess is still that something is stealing TC port....
Maybe just ask you client to turn off the antivirus for a day...
And conversely if there is no antivirus... maybe that machine needs a good
scan...
And even if the SP has been aplied a long time ago.... they need to be
reapplied when someone has messed with the system...
Good luck.... outta idea's... only OBama can help you now ;)

Re: Tomcat Service is stopped automatically???
Posted by Thangavel Sankaranarayanan <ts...@in.ibm.com>.
Hi,
Thanks ,
No information from logs(tomcat as well as applicatoin logs)
System Event logs shows:
"The Apache Tomcat Service has terminated unexpectedly.It has done this 7
time(s).The following Corrective Action will be taken in 0 milliseconds:No
Action"
On making Netstat -an
Only tomcat listens to the particular port...

It sounds like something that has just started recently....
You need to check all the WINDOWS system logs as well...
And when TC stops... open the WINDOWS service manager and see if it really
has stopped...probably not.
I suspect you have an agressive port stealing app on the server....
something else is on the same port as Tomcat...
Maybe another server also on port 80, or something like Skype...
netstat -noa will let you check out all the services and their ports on the
machine...
It may be something more subtle... like you have the service setup as Bob
and then you starting it as Admin... (System), so any apps looking at user
are getting diff locations and the WebApps themselves dont know whats going
on...
I dont think its TC... its an issue with the service setup on the
machine...
my guess ;)
If this is not right then try describe when it shuts down.... as it starts,
after 5 mins, it works when logged on by not when no user logged on... give
us a clue ;)

Right-click on the "My Computer" icon, and choose "manage" (like you
probably did to get to the "Services").
On the left-hand side, you should see a top Item "This computer", under
it an item "System", and under that one an item "Event logs".
If you expand the Event logs, you should see at least 3 sub-items :
- Application
- Security
- System
The one of interest here is probably "System".
On the right side now, you should see a list of messages with
timestamps. By double-clicking on one item, you will see the full
message. Then you can scroll up and down.
When a service (e.g. Tomcat) starts, there will be a couple of messages
saying "A Start message was sent to the Tomcat service" etc..
The same when a service stops.
Find out when Tomcat stops, and look around that time.
It may give you a hint right away, and if not, copy the text and post it
here.

Well, first of all, 4.1 *is* a very old version, so maybe you should
consider using a more recent one.
But other than that, can you provide a bit more information than "is
autmatically stopped" ?
I have used Tomcat 4.1 as a Windows service under various Windows
versions for many years, and it does not usually "automatically stop".
So what is happening exactly ?
Let's start from the beginning :
1) call up the "services" applet on that system, and look for the
Service named "Apache Tomcat" or similar.
On that line, in the 4th column, it should say "Automatic" or "Manual".
Which is it ?
2) in the 3rd column, it should show if the service is actually running,
or blank if it isn't. Which is it ?
3) If it is not running, right-click on the line and choose "start".
Does it start, or does it bring an error pop-up ?
4) if it starts, then when does it stop "automatically" ?
Is it right away ? after a short while ? after a long time ? only when
you log off from this PC ?
5) Once it stops, if you examine the "System Event log", is there a
message that indicates why it stopped ?
6) under the directory where you installed Tomcat, there should be a
directory "logs" with the Tomcat logfiles. It normally creates one
logfile of each type for each day. Which files are there ?
