Tomcat not working after moving installation folder
I ran out of disk space on C: so I moved C:\Tomcat5.5 to D:\Tomcat5.5 and also edited the executable path in the windows service registry. But now it doesn't start. It says
"The Apache Tomcat service terminated with service-specific error 0 (0x0)."
No log file gets written in D:\Tomcat5.5\logs.
I also tried running it from command prompt but it says nothing much.
D:\Tomcat5.5\bin>tomcat5.exe //RS//Tomcat5
D:\Tomcat5.5\bin>
D:\Tomcat5.5\bin>tomcat5.exe
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000
When I try to open http://localhost:8080 I see that tomcat is not running.
Please advice.

Hi Kannan,
Did you stop the tomcat service running previously before move operation?
I suspect, old process has occupied the same address (port or interface)
Please check. For windows there is one utility -- PortMon which will give
port if in use or not.
Try to kill that process and then restart.
Regards,
Saurabh Agrawal

Not good. You may have to delete the service manually (which will require some research).
It looks like your manual editing of the registry has mucked things up to the point that your best bet may be to uninstall Tomcat completely and reinstall it in the desired location. (I'd use the .zip download, not the .exe one.) Given that you now have an unusable service with the name Tomcat5, you may have to install the new one under a different name; see the comments in service.bat to learn how to do that.

Yes, after reboot the service no longer appeared, and I did a service.bat install to install the D: tomcat and it said it was successfully installed.
However when I hit a web page I get a weird exceptionjava.lang.NullPointerException

Maybe you have to do a reboot.

I don't have the service.bat in the bin folder so from another Jakarta Tomcat zip file. When I did
D:\Tomcat5.5\bin>service.bat remove
The service 'Tomcat5' has been removed
I still find the windows service, but its seems to have changed to 'Disabled' (not sure what it was before)
After that, the install command fails:
D:\Tomcat5.5\bin>service.bat install
[2010-07-13 22:14:53] [410 prunsrv.c] [error]
The system cannot find the file specified.

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

The point is the _environment variable_ is NOT used when running Tomcat as a Windows service - the registry entry is. The environment variable does come into play when _installing_ the service.

Actually, CATALINA_HOME is used, it's just set in the registry instead of as a environment variable. It's set in the Procrun portion of the tree.
It does appear that he didn't make all the changes needed in the registry. The easiest way is to correct this is to do as Chuck says and use the service.bat script to do a remove and reinstall. The second easiest method is to make all the corrections useing the "Configure Tomcat" option and changing all the appropriate paths you find there. There also appear to be two locations in the registry tree for Tomcat, one is under the SERVICES, "ImagePath", and the other is under SOFTWARE, "InstallPath", though I can't tell you for sure that this one needs to be changed.
Do yourself a favor and follow Chuck's instructions.

Probably not a safe way to do it, since you likely didn't find everything that needed changing. The best thing to do (besides getting a bigger disk drive) is to remove the existing service by running "service.bat remove", then reinstall it with "service.bat install". If you don't have the service.bat script in your download, get the .zip form of Tomcat and extract it from there.

It's from the Windows service wrapper, not Tomcat itself.

Environment variables are not used when running Tomcat as a Windows service, to that's not relevant.

This does not really look like a Tomcat message (but I may be wrong here).

You can also run :
netstat -ano
to see which ports are in the LISTEN state.
Maybe you overlooked the fact that the system variable CATALINA_HOME is still set to the
C:\tomcat5.5 directory ?
One question : does your Tomcat "bin" subdirectory contain files like "service.bat",
"startup.bat" etc.. ?
