Tomcat 7 fail to start
tomcat, tomcat7
Solution
I did a reinstall of JRE to version 6u25 and Tomcat was able to start again.
I guess something must have messed up the JRE depenencies. The only recent installations on the server was a couple of days ago. Before that it had not been changed since the beginning of the year. I list the recent installations here for reference but I do not claim to know that they were the cause of the problem:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Objects (x64)
- Microsoft Web Platform Installer 3.0
- Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types (x64)
- Microsoft Web Deploy 2.0
- Google Chrome
Problem
I have Tomcat 7 running as service on win 7 server over a year now without any problems Server has plenty or HDD and memory, Today the server was down, trying to start it i am getting the error: ``` 2012-06-13 15:15:22 Commons Daemon procrun stdout initialized Error occurred during initialization of VM Unable to load native library: Can't find dependent libraries ``` I switched the vm parameter on the java tab of the service properties from: `C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll` to: `C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll` And now its seems to work fine. What could be the cause of this error out of the blue? Thank you
