Can't startup Apache Tomcat 9.0 Lucee Service

dev support
1

Hi,

I updated my Java on my pc and now I can’t seem to be abled to startup the lucee service! I get the following message:

windows could not start apache tomcat 9.0 on local computer

I’ve tried a stackoverlfow solution suggested here by setting the Mode equals Java on startup and shutdown but that didn’t work. Now i can’t even click the startup button on either windows service or the Lucee Tomvat service control as they are disabled now…

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I don’t want to re-install Lucee again unless no other option.

Thanks

Open the Lucee-tomcat service control and check that it points to the correct jvm

Got it working. I had the startup mode set to java as was suggested in a stack overflow solution. Changed it back to jvm for both startup and shutdown. Now all works and back to normal. The main change was the jvm path that you suggested. Thanks for your help @Zackster
