I am having a problem starting Tomcat service. When I try to start the service, some problem happens and it is not initialized.

The log in the C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\logs is as follows: 

[2015-12-12 17:34:58] [info]  [ 3476] Running 'FunctionsHandler' Service...
[2015-12-12 17:34:58] [info]  [ 4076] Starting service...

[2015-12-12 17:34:59] [info]  [ 3476] Commons Daemon procrun finished

The variable JAVA_HOME is already defined.

Any idea what might be going on?

This error is not specifically from version 9, it is not new, it is because Tomcat has not detected or properly configured the classpath for the apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M1/bin/boostrap.jar and apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M1/bin/tomcat-juli.jar.

Another possible situation is that you have not found the way (JAVA_HOME) for the JVM, thus causing failure when trying to upload the web container (Tomcat).

You can change by following the properties of the Tomcat service on Windows.

  • I thought I already set the variable JAVA_HOME, but as I was setting up a new environment, I did everything from scratch and ended up setting it pointing to the JRE target folder, and not JDK. After reviewing, I found the variables, I found the error.

Guys had the same problem. To solve, I opened Apache Tomcat, went on Properties and on the tab Startup changed the Mode of jvm for java. After that the service started correctly.
