Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi - did poke all around the net as well as here. I got help on JAVA_JRE and JAVA_HOME. Thnx.
Now - I start TOMCAT in XAMPP 1.7.7 on Win7 64bit. I get the following msgs.

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

Advice is so looked for here.
BTW - the beta control panel is cool looking and works nice!

I am not sure I have seen this before. Could you check your /xampp/tomcat/conf/catalina.policy and post the contents between code tags

Thanx for responding. Here is what I believe you asked for. Please advise if not. It is everything under system code and catalina code headings.


// ========== SYSTEM CODE PERMISSIONS =========================================


// These permissions apply to javac
grant codeBase "file:${java.home}/lib/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

// These permissions apply to all shared system extensions
grant codeBase "file:${java.home}/jre/lib/ext/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

// These permissions apply to javac when ${java.home] points at $JAVA_HOME/jre
grant codeBase "file:${java.home}/../lib/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

// These permissions apply to all shared system extensions when
// ${java.home} points at $JAVA_HOME/jre
grant codeBase "file:${java.home}/lib/ext/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};


// ========== CATALINA CODE PERMISSIONS =======================================


// These permissions apply to the daemon code
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/bin/commons-daemon.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

// These permissions apply to the logging API
// Note: If tomcat-juli.jar is in ${catalina.base} and not in ${catalina.home},
// update this section accordingly.
// grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/bin/tomcat-juli.jar" {..}
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/bin/tomcat-juli.jar" {
permission java.io.FilePermission
"${java.home}${file.separator}lib${file.separator}logging.properties", "read";

permission java.io.FilePermission
"${catalina.base}${file.separator}conf${file.separator}logging.properties", "read";
permission java.io.FilePermission
"${catalina.base}${file.separator}logs", "read, write";
permission java.io.FilePermission
"${catalina.base}${file.separator}logs${file.separator}*", "read, write";

permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "shutdownHooks";
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getClassLoader";
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "setContextClassLoader";

permission java.util.logging.LoggingPermission "control";

permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.util.logging.config.class", "read";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.util.logging.config.file", "read";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "catalina.base", "read";

// Note: To enable per context logging configuration, permit read access to
// the appropriate file. Be sure that the logging configuration is
// secure before enabling such access.
// E.g. for the examples web application (uncomment and unwrap
// the following to be on a single line):
// permission java.io.FilePermission "${catalina.base}${file.separator}
// webapps${file.separator}examples${file.separator}WEB-INF
// ${file.separator}classes${file.separator}logging.properties", "read";
};

// These permissions apply to the server startup code
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/bin/bootstrap.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

// These permissions apply to the servlet API classes
// and those that are shared across all class loaders
// located in the "lib" directory
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/lib/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};


// If using a per instance lib directory, i.e. ${catalina.base}/lib,
// then the following permission will need to be uncommented
// grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/lib/-" {
// permission java.security.AllPermission;
// };

It looks like the permission that it is complaining about exists in the policy file as it should so I am not entirely sure what the underlying issue is.

1. If you still have the XAMPP zip file, you could try deleting the Tomcat folder and just reextracting it into your XAMPP folder to make sure no files were corrupted/missing
2. Have you had any issues with any other Java applications? (possible IDS/Firewall/HIPS/etc.. restricting access)
3. Are you running with Admin privileges?
4. If all of the above fail, you have the option of manually upgrading Tomcat to the latest 64-bit version (XAMPP comes with the 32-bit version which in some instances has issues with a 64-bit Java like you have installed). Tomcat does not have any XAMPP-specific modifications inside the tomcat folder. You could rename the existing folder, download the latest 64-bit Tomcat Zip from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi and extract that folder to the XAMPP directory. Finally, rename the extracted folder to 'tomcat' and it should work with the existing just as the bundled one did.

Hey Hackattack142 - a very big thanks! I did option 4 (overlaid xampp suppllied tomcat with tomcat's 64bit version 7) and it is up and running! Using the beta control panel it started up and all ports are showing active. I also went into the main, manager and status panels successfully.
