Dear Ranchers,
I have a Windows 7, 64 bit machine. I am trying to run my web application using Apache
tomcat 5.5.30 (that used to work in my window xp machine) but below is the error that I get
I did do some search on the topics and these are solutions that I tried.
I downloaded and installed jdk and jre that is meant to be both for 32 bit and 64 bit machine. Restarted my system.
Uninstalled and reinstalled tomcat again. But what happens is that when I tried to give jre path as C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6
instead of C:\Program Files\Java\jre6. My tomcat does not start the services.
Later I noted that in the installation window it has mentioned
Note that if you have a 64 bit operating system, you must specify a 64 bit JRE
. But selecting the jre path that is meant to be for 64 bit machine, helps in getting the tomcat running but I get the above exception.
Have any of you faced this problem before. Any solutions that I am missing?
