I installed Tomcat 7.0.42 on my Windows 2008 server. I have Tomcat 6 installed already and host multiple instances of tomcat in separate folders. I repeated this same process for Tomcat 7.
1. Installed java1.7 2. Unzipped the .zip 64-bit tomcat file into a folder C:\tomcat7 3. Created a new instance folder called C:\tomcat-instances\project I registered the tomcat instance as a service in Windows with the following arguments in a .bat file (this works fine for Tomcat 6) set SERVICE_NAME=project set CATALINA_HOME=C:\tomcat7 set JAVA_HOME=C:\java1.7 set CATALINA_BASE=%cd% call C:\tomcat7\bin\service.bat install %SERVICE_NAME% However, when I start the service in Windows, it fails with the following error message WARNING: Failed to scan [file:/C:/tomcat-instances/project/bin/tomcat-juli.jar] from classloader hierarchy java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\tomcat-instances\project\bin\tomcat-juli.jar (The system cannot find the path specified) at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method) at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:214) Looking into the service.bat file, it looks like the CLASSPATH is supposed to be looking in CATALINA_BASE\bin and then CATALINA_HOME\bin for the tomcat-juli.jar, but it appears that it is not doing this. It appears to be only looking in CATALINA_BASE\bin and failing. Is this a bug? I can get the process started by creating a bin folder in my CATALINA_BASE and then placing tomcat-juli.jar there, but this is not the desired (or correct) behavior.
