A problem with Tomcat (Can't run tomcat as a service.).

Question

Hi
May be you can help me (please).
I do the following steps, as described in many documents I've found.
1. Downloaded the jk_nt_service.exe and put it into jdk1.3.1jre\bin\classic
2. configured wrapper.properties:
wrapper.tomcat_home=C:\tomcat324 wrapper.java_home=C:\work\jdk1.3.1
3. Run:
C:\>jk_nt_service.exe -i tomcat C:\tomcat324conf\wrapper.properties
C:\>jk_nt_service.exe -s tomcat
C:\>net start tomcat
In this step I get the following error:
A system error has occurred.
System error 1067 has occurred.
The process terminated unexpectedly.
I've got the same error on other computers and using Alexandria's program.. As I understood it's not only my problem, others have it too.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First U should check if IIS and Tomcat are running together then Tomcat won't start coz both use the 80 port. u have shut down IIS and use Tomcat and enable Tomcat to start with the services, If shutting down IIS is not a problem.
If u need both IIS and Tomcat to run together then u have change the server http port u can do it in the following manner
drive:\Apache Tomcat 4.0\conf directory.
Edit the sever.xml file
In the server.xml file u will have to change the port in the following piece
<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000"/>
<!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value
to -1 -->
Change the port 8080 to 808x where x is any number between 0 to 9
Restart the machine and this should work
Good Luck
Bye,
