Error starting Tomcat 5.5 as a Windows service

Hi,
 
I am attempting to install Tomcat 5.5.23 as a Windows service on a
Windows 2003 Server box.  The steps I went through are as follows

*	Installed the JDK 1.5 Update 12
*	Manually added the environment variable JAVA_HOME to C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12 (as a system variable, not user level)
*	Ran the windows installer package and selected the full install
option.  At this point I expected to be able to test the service can
start and serve requests using examples installed with the installation
but I am unable to.  Anytime I try to start the Windows service the
following error is logged:

I'm assuming it's a class path issue but being new to the world of Java,
I'm not sure what could be missing out of a basic installation.  I have
performed some Google searches and even searched through some of the
archives but was unable to find anything specific to this situation.
Any pointers or a push in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated.
 
FYI - Even at the Windows command prompt, if I type java -version I
receive this error:

	Error occurred during initialization of VM
	java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Same error, different cause so I'm not completely sure if this is even
related to the Tomcat installation, rather possibly some odd situation
that was encountered when the JDK was installed.
 
Thanks,
Tony

java.lang.Object is the core ancestor of all java classes.  Given it's 
pretty much available by default regardless of classpath or anything 
else I suspect your JVM install is messed up in some manner.  Try 
reinstalling your JVM and start tomcat again.

Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestion.  That did the trick.  The Tomcat application
is now running as a windows service and everything is working.  Odd
situation though since I always thought that environment variables were
recognized immediately (except for previously opened command windows).
Lesson learned :).

Make sure you have CATALINA_HOME pointed to your tomcat instance. make
sure your java home is correct.. It sounds like it can't find the java
home..

You did boot after the install right? If you added that environment
variable to the system section, you'll need to boot to pick it up or
open a new cmd prompt to re-read the environment.

Make sure you have CATALINA_HOME pointed to your tomcat instance. make sure
your java home is correct.. It sounds like it can't find the java home..

You did boot after the install right? If you added that environment variable
to the system section, you'll need to boot to pick it up or open a new cmd
prompt to re-read the environment.

RE: Error starting Tomcat 5.5 as a Windows service

Posted by Randy Bumgardner <Ra...@inovis.com>.
Tony,

We had the same issue recently. Copying msvcr71.dll into the
$CATALINA_HOME/bin directory fixed the issue... Here's a thread with
more background:

Subject: Error starting Tomcat 5.5 as a Windows service

Hi,
 
I am attempting to install Tomcat 5.5.23 as a Windows service on a
Windows 2003 Server box.  The steps I went through are as follows

*	Installed the JDK 1.5 Update 12
*	Manually added the environment variable JAVA_HOME to C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12 (as a system variable, not user level)
*	Ran the windows installer package and selected the full install
option.  At this point I expected to be able to test the service can
start and serve requests using examples installed with the installation
but I am unable to.  Anytime I try to start the Windows service the
following error is logged:

vfprintf

	[2007-07-05 15:53:54] [info] : java/lang/Object

I'm assuming it's a class path issue but being new to the world of Java,
I'm not sure what could be missing out of a basic installation.  I have
performed some Google searches and even searched through some of the
archives but was unable to find anything specific to this situation.
Any pointers or a push in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated.
 
FYI - Even at the Windows command prompt, if I type java -version I
receive this error:

	Error occurred during initialization of VM
	java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Same error, different cause so I'm not completely sure if this is even
related to the Tomcat installation, rather possibly some odd situation
that was encountered when the JDK was installed.
 
Thanks,
Tony
