XAMPP 1.7.7 Can't start tomcat on Windows XP 64 [Solved]

[mmt200575]

I reinstalled more times JRE and XAMPP but can't start comcat.
I tried catalina_start in this way:
I opened a cmd windows and pasted content of catalina start after
cd C:\xampp\tomcat

Code: Select all

cd C:\xampp\tomcat
@echo off
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::  Set JAVA_HOME and   ::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

IF EXIST tomcat\logs\catalina.pid (
  del /F/Q tomcat\logs\catalina.pid
)

echo.
echo [XAMPP]: Searching JDK HOME with reg query ...
set KeyName=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit

reg query "%KeyName%" /s
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 1 (
  echo . [XAMPP]: Cannot find current JDK installation!
  echo . [XAMPP]: Cannot set JAVA_HOME. Aborting ...
  goto :END
)

set "CURRENT_DIR=%cd%"
set "CATALINA_HOME=%CURRENT_DIR%"

:: only for windows 32 bit if you have problems with the tcnative-1.dll
:: set CATALINA_OPTS=-Djava.library.path="%CATALINA_HOME%\bin"

set Cmd=reg query "%KeyName%" /s
for /f "tokens=2*" %%i in ('%Cmd% ^| find "JavaHome"') do set JAVA_HOME=%%j

echo.
echo [XAMPP]: Seems fine!
echo [XAMPP]: Set JAVA_HOME : %JAVA_HOME%
echo [XAMPP]: Set CATALINA_HOME : %CATALINA_HOME%
echo.

if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
echo run > logs\catalina.pid
)

"%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat" run


:END
echo done.
pause


This is what I got:

Hey JohB or anyone,
Can I assume that JDK and JRE are installed and work correctly?
This is how I test it on cmd windows.

Code: Select all

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd /D L:\L\2012-CR\IT\Java\01

L:\L\2012-CR\IT\Java\01>javac HelloWorldApp.java

L:\L\2012-CR\IT\Java\01>java HelloWorldApp
Hello World!

L:\L\2012-CR\IT\Java\01>

There is another better way to find out that JDK and JRE are installed and work correctly?
I also tried:

Code: Select all

cd C:\XAMPP
catalina_start

and got:

Code: Select all

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\XAMPP

C:\xampp>catalina_start

[XAMPP]: Seems fine!
[XAMPP]: Set JAVA_HOME : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33
[XAMPP]: Set CATALINA_HOME : C:\xampp\tomcat

and was unexpected at this time.

C:\xampp>

Thanks

A. It certainly looks like you have Java SDK installed correctly.

B. Try directly running catalina.bat in \xampp\tomcat\bin and see what happens.

My answers here are based on grokking the setup and batch files, I'm not a tomcat expert.

I have been testing XAMPP 1.8 beta 4 (have not gotten to 5) AND on my Windows 7 64 bit machine -- which chokes on the 1.7.7 tomcat -- the 1.8 beta 4 runs tomcat apparently correctly, right from the Control Panel. I run several XAMPP/LAMPP versions on several machines/OS's



If you DL and look at the beta, you will see the 'tomcat' part is all re-done. I "think" there is no reason you could not graft the beta tomcat onto a different install if you wanted. AGAIN, I am not an expert on Tomcat, however, AFAIK they are separte servers/processes. Also, you can certainly run more than one version of XAMPP on a machine, they just can't run concurrently (at least on standard ports).

Good Luck

Hi JohB,
I tried:

Code: Select all

cd C:\xampp\tomcat\bin
catalina run


And I got:

Code: Select all

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\xampp\tomcat\bin

C:\xampp\tomcat\bin>catalina run
and was unexpected at this time.

C:\xampp\tomcat\bin>


I am not sure about what have to be installed.
Above is what I see in my Control Panel
Add or Remove Programs

Code: Select all

Java(TM) 6 Update 2

Java(TM) 6 Update 3

Java(TM) 6 Update 33

Java(TM) 6 Update 33(64-bit)

Java(TM) 6 Update 4

Java(TM) 6 Update 5

Java(TM) 6 Update 7

Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 Update(64-bit)

Mostly I want to understend what I am doing.
About the 1.8 Beta I can't see a 64 bit version.
Thanks for your time.

[JonB]

XAMPP does not have 64 bit versions.

Tanks,
xampp-win32-1.8.0-beta7-vc9.7z work on my computer.
Thanks again,

[JonB]

OK Good luck

If you decide to run the final 1.8 version when it comes out, you probably will need to backup and install fresh. If it works 'ok' for you there is really no great reason to go to a final version. You should look at what is in the final package and see if it affects you.

Have fun with XAMPP & Tomcat

Thanks again.
