I have installed Apache
Tomcat 7.0.4 on both Windows 7 (64-bit) and Windows Vista (64-bit) along with
Java 6 r22.
I used the .exe installer for Tomcat to get the windows service for tomcat. When I start the service it fails with the following error:
Windows could not start the Apache Tomcat 7 on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to the service-specific error code 0.
If i try to start it again, it starts successfully.
When I try to stop the service, I get the following error:
Windows could not stop the Apache Tomcat 7 service on Local Computer.
Error 109: The pipe has been ended.
Everytime after this it takes 2 tries to start the server and fails with the same error on stop. Other than these errors the server itself is working fine.
