Hi Cris, thank you very much for your help!
Here are the answers to your questions: - Tomcat Windows Service has problems during automatic startup AND manual startup from the Service panel. - Older Java Versions: Using C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_181\bin\server\jvm.dll Tomcat services starts. No problems then. - Windows Event Log: Message is only " The Apache Tomcat 9.0 Tomcat9 service terminated with service-specific error Incorrect function.. " - Tomcat Service Panel: I specified the location of jvm.dll and do NOT use default. - Windows Server 2008 is 64bit. And so is Java and Tomcat. Best regards, Andi Am Mi., 12.
