Installing Tomcat 4.1.24 as a service on Win 2000 - won't start

["Goehring, Chuck Mr., RCI - San Diego" <cg...@resourceconsultants.com>]

Tomcatters,

I'm having trouble getting tomcat installed as a Win2000 service.

Below is the command I'm using:
"%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat.exe" -install "Apache Tomcat" "%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll" -Djava.class.path="%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\bootstrap.jar" -Djava.endorsed.dirs="%CATALINA_HOME%\bin;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib" -Dcatalina.home="%CATALINA_HOME%" -start org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params stop -out "%CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stdout.log" -err "%CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stderr.log"

It succeeds and produces registry entries that look the same as those created by the Tomcat installer.  When it tries to load, the following messages get logged to the event log:

  The LoadLibrary function failed for the following reason: The specified module could not be found.
  Could not load the Java Virtual Machine. 
  The Apache Tomcat service failed to start. 

There is nothing in any of tomcats logs.  The version info is as folowes:
  Win 2000 service pack 4
  Tomcat 4.1.24
  Java j2sdk1.4.2_01 (never used this new one before)

Environment(wrapped):
  CATALINA_HOME=f:\Tomcat4.1
  JAVA_HOME=d:\j2re1.4.2_01
  Path=F:\Tomcat4.1\bin;E:\perl\bin;E:\Apache2\bin;D:\j2sdk1.4.2_01\bin;C:\PROGRA~
  1\SIMSEX~1;c:\aux_bin;C:\Oracle\Ora81\bin;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\Sy
  stem32\Wbem;C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Common\msdev98\BIN;C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\BI
  N;C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Common\TOOLS\WINNT;C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Common\TOOLS;"C:\
  Program Files\Symantec_Client_Security\Symantec AntiVirus"

If I start it with the startup.bat, it comes up fine.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Chuck

[John Corrigan <jo...@johncorrigan.net>]

When installing as a service, the installation routine uses whatever
environment variables are set in the shell.

Once installed as a service Tomcat uses registry values, not environment
variables.

My two cents :)

If you're starting things as a service, the
environment variables need to be defined at the system
level and not the user level.

just my two cents . . . .
