Windows 2008 and running Tomcat as a windows service

[mlovejoy]

I have open a call with PTC about setting up tomcat as a service on 2008 Server -PTC saidthier are known issues with this do to security changes in 2008 server. I asked if they had a TAN or TPIand thier repsonse was no..and good luck.

Basically the service goes in -but when you start the Tomcat services, the service starts and then stops.

I am looking for any info on what i need to change --

Thanks

Hi Marc,

I´m passing the same problem with "TomCat as a Service" and Windows Server 2008.

did you get it resolved?

i found this suggestion from PTC Support:

"Copy the file <java_home>\bin\MSVCR71.dll to c:\winnt\system32. After that start the Windchill and Tomcat services."

https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=145765

, but i didn´t found the file to copy (MSVCR71.dll).

Thanks and Regards,

André

Marc,

I had the same problem with Tomcat upon installing it as a service on 2008. Finally the command I used was:

ant -f config.xml installService -DJAVA_HOME= C:\java\jrse2 -DserviceName= Tomcat

I had been previously pointing the java_home path to the bin directory. Once I removed this and entered the above line it started up without any problems.

Might be the same for you, may not work....

Hi Ramirez,

Did you used the Java Installed with Windchill by PTC Installer Sollution? our did you installed a new Java Instance?

Thanks,

Hi Andre,

Sorry I have only read this reply. Yes we did use the Java Installed with PTC Installer Sollution. I hope you've managed to fix it.

Hi,

I had the same problem, I was able to resolve the issue after making changes to the OOTB <tomcat_home>\config.xml
