Andre: I followed your idea and did the following - uninstalled the .exe install of 6.0.32, extracted the 64-bit zip, and copied my old "conf" folder back on top of the one that the zip created. Added the environment variable JAVA_HOME in Windows. Ran startup.bat - Tomcat tries to start, but Windows then pops up a message saying "Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working", and I am forced to click "close this program".
Windows still notes an "Event 1000, Application Error" in its logs, and I get the following error. The "faulting application" this time is java.exe as opposed to tomcat6.exe (as it was previously): Faulting application name: java.exe, version: 6.0.250.6, time stamp: 0x4da6a804 Faulting module name: jvm.dll, version: 20.0.0.11, time stamp: 0x4da6d3c2 Exception code: 0xc0000094 Fault offset: 0x0000000000308eef Faulting process id: 0xa2c Faulting application start time: 0x01cc0b2f6534c0ca Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin\java.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll Report Id: a2f45f74-7722-11e0-a592-005056a10003 This error is the same (save for the version numbers and path differences) when using JDK 6u24 and 6u25 64-bit. I don't know if this helps at all, but here is the output from startup.bat when running with 6u25: Using CATALINA_BASE: "c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0" Using CATALINA_HOME: "c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0" Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\temp" Using JRE_HOME: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25" Using CLASSPATH: "c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\bin\bootstrap.jar" I'm still at a loss here. Any ideas what this now points to? (Terence: Haven't gotten there yet, as it is a new install. I might end up trying that at some point - what did you remove from the registry?) A suggestion to try to pin down the problem somewhere : let's run your Tomcat, not as a Windows Service under the procrun daemon, but as a console application, directly from java. (If its a VM under VMware, then you have an easy console access, and you don't care if you have to login and run tomcat in a command window, right ?) For that, you'll have to download a "full" tomcat zip-file (from the same place where you got the .exe). The zip file contains additional scripts allowing to start tomcat from the command-line. You can unzip it in a new directory, or right over the one that's there. (You may want to save the contents of your "conf" sub-directory, and restore them after the unzip). Then you should be able to navigate to the "bin" directory and start tomcat in the command window (with "startup.bat"), without involving the tomcat6.exe. You will probably need to create a "setenv.bat" first, and set JAVA_HOME in it. I believe that all that is explained in the "running.txt" file that comes with it. If tomcat starts and stops consistently that way, then I would say that it is a strong clue that procrun (tomcat6.exe) has something to do with the problem. -----Original Message----- From: André Warnier <a...@ice-sa.com> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Wed, May 4, 2011 4:07 pm Subject: Re: Tomcat 6.0.32 on 64-bit 2008 server - "Event 1000, Application Error" A suggestion to try to pin down the problem somewhere : let's run your Tomcat, not as a Windows Service under the procrun daemon, but as a console application, directly from java.
