Tomcat as NT service.. problem.
I tried to setup Tomcat to start as an NT service (Win2k-Pro), as per:
Working with the Jakarta NT Service
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.2-doc/NT-Service-howto.html
And it seems OK:
E:\Net\Apache\Tools>jk_nt_service -i Tomcat
e:\Net\Apache\Tomcat\conf\wrapper.properties
Asked (and given) winsock 1.1
The service named Tomcat was created. Now adding registry entries
Registry values were added
If you have already updated wrapper.properties you may start the Tomcat
service
by executing "net start Tomcat" from the command prompt
But I get:
E:\Net\Apache\Tools>net start Tomcat
The Tomcat service is starting.
The Tomcat service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
Apache runs fine as a service. :-)
Tomcat runs fine by a DOS startup.
And they run fine together via mod_jk.dll.
I did edit the wrappers.properties file to point to JDK and Tomcat; seems
simple enough.
Any help appreciated; I don't know where to look for hints, there are no
log files or errors generated.

I had the same problem and Randy Layman send me the text bellow, try it, it
worked for me
Generally this is due to some form of Path error causing the service
not to be able to start. There are three things to check:
1. The path to wrapper.properties is correct (its in the registry
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\CurrentControlSet\<Service Name>.
2. The values of TOMCAT_HOME or JAVA_HOME are incorrect
3. You have installed Tomcat or Java into a directory that has a
space in its name.

I had the same problem.
In my case it was fixed by setting wrapper.tomcat_home, java_home
adding the jar files for tomcat and oracle in wrapper.properties
wrapper.tomcat_home=c:\jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2
wrapper.java_home=c:\jdk1.3
wrapper.class_path=$(wrapper.tomcat_home)\classes
wrapper.class_path=$(wrapper.tomcat_home)\lib\japx.jar
wrapper.class_path=$(wrapper.tomcat_home)\lib\parser.jar
wrapper.class_path=$(wrapper.tomcat_home)\lib\webserver.jar
wrapper.class_path=$(wrapper.tomcat_home)\lib\servlet.jar
wrapper.class_path=$(wrapper.tomcat_home)\lib\jasper.jar
wrapper.class_path=$(wrapper.tomcat_home)\lib\classes12.jar
wrapper.class_path=$(wrapper.tomcat_home)\lib\nls_charset12.jar
Good Luck.

Simon

Ah, you probably fell for the "secret" trap laid for you by the
programmers... The stupid Tomcat jk_nt_service can't handle directories
with a space in them and the default install for Apache puts Apache in a
directory with not one, but two spaces !!
I will send you my install directions in a private e-mail. If anyone else
is interested, drop me an e-mail.
