Thanks, but my registry setting for \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Tomcat5 Start *IS* set to 0x02.
Also, having to mess with registry settings is not a very "clean" install, imho.
Reinstalling J2SE 1.4.2 with a public runtime worked.
4.1.28 worked without having a public runtime. I had to alter the registry for that installation too. I pointed the registry setting to JAVA_HOME at c:\java.
The installer for 5.0.18 correctly found my JRE in JAVA_HOME (c:\java), but it didn't want to play nicely with it. It still required me to have the public runtime in c:\program files\java\jre...

I recently ran into the same problem on a Windows XP machine. I tried
everything I could find in the archives: use the EXE installer, use the ZIP
package and run SERVICE install to create the service. I installed,
uninstalled, and re-installed multiple times.
Fortunately I had a second machine that was working to compare to. I found
my answer in the registry. In
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Tomcat5 the start key was set to a
value of 0x03. I set the value to what the working machine uses: 0x02 (I
think this corresponds to Automatic startup in the Services applet under
Control Panel). I rebooted and like magic everything worked. I can even
change the Tomcat service from automatic to manual and it still works.
HTH.

Subject: Tomcat 5.0.18 not responding as a Windows Service
I installed 5.0.18 on W2K, which automatically sets up Tomcat as a Windows
Service. My J2SE 1.4.2 is installed at c:\java and I made the JAVA_HOME
environment variable point to this directory. Tomcat is in c:\tomcat, which
is also CATALINA_HOME.
Tomcat runs fine using 'startup.bat'.
When I try running the service, I receive the following error:
"Could not start the Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a
timely fashion"
The event log contains the following two entries that correspond to the
above error:
"Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the Apache Tomat service to
connect."
and
"The Apache Tomcat service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely
fashion"
Note: calling the tomcat executable (c:\tomcat\bin\tomcat.exe) from the
command line does nothing. Tomcat does not appear in the task manager.
There is no response whatsoever.
How do I fix this? Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
